Description
Description — Family of Beyond Line-of-Sight Terminals
Activities funded in this program element continue to pay for AN/USQ-225 modernization and integration into multiple legacy systems, other ongoing NC3 acquisition programs, and future capabilities for the overall AF NC3 WS. The Family of Advanced Beyond Line-of-Sight Terminals (FAB-T) Command Post Terminals (CPT) program replaces legacy Milstar terminals and will provide Extremely High Frequency (EHF), protected high data rate communication for nuclear and conventional forces to include Presidential and National Voice Conferencing (PNVC). FAB-T CPT will provide this new, highly secure, state-of-the-art capability for Department of Defense (DoD) platforms to include strategic platforms and airborne/ground command posts via Milstar, Advanced EHF (AEHF), and Evolved Strategic SATCOM (ESS) satellite constellations. FAB-T CPTs will also support the critical command and control (C2) of the Milstar, AEHF, and ESS satellite constellations. In June 2014, the Department of the Air Force down-selected to Raytheon for production of FAB-T CPT. Production contract options to produce CPT terminals were exercised after a successful Milestone C decision was approved September 1, 2015. In FY 2019, the FAB-T Program Management Office executed the final Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) procurement to complete the total of 84 LRIP CPTs on contract. In FY 2026, FAB-T CPT will continue to pursue activities that ensure FAB-T CPT terminal interoperability with the full AEHF satellite constellation. The Presidential and National Voice Conferencing (PNVC) Integrator project is a critical element of the Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications (NC3) System. PNVC integrator replaces the Survivable Emergency Conferencing Network (SECN) capability, and will provide anti-jam, anti-scintillation, survivable, and enduring voice communications via the AEHF, and ESS satellite constellations for national and strategic users. Equipment upgrades required for this system include the development and production of several new components by other organizations, including the Baseband Interface Group (BIG) and Multi-Stream Summing Device (MSD III) for airborne users and the Baseband Kit (BBK) / PNVC Equipment enclosure for mobile users. The PNVC Integrator is responsible for all program elements and funding, including those related to the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) and National Security Agency (NSA) components of the PNVC system, in accordance with the transfer directed in the FY 2018 National Defense Authorization Act, Sec. 1661. PNVC funds were transferred from DISA to the Department of the Air Force (DAF) beginning in FY 2021, and the PNVC Integrator will continue to procure remaining PNVC equipment until all fielding is complete. In October 2021, PNVC completed Milestone B/C. FAB-T CPT was reflected in previous Program Exhibits in the Prior Years through FY 2014 - 2020. PNVC was reflected in previous Program Exhibits in the Prior Years through FY 2015 - 2020. Funding for this exhibit is contained in PE 1203001SF.
Justification
Justification — Family of Beyond Line-of-Sight Terminals
In FY 2026, FAB-T CPT will continue activities that ensure CPT terminal interoperability with the full AEHF satellite constellation, deliver airborne terminals to aircraft depots, provide interim contractor support for the existing fielded terminals, operator training, and organic depot activation in preparation for long-term hardware, software, and crypto sustainment. In FY 2026, PNVC Integrator will continue to procure any remaining PNVC equipment required for fielding activities and provide support capability for fielded units including interim contractor support and depot activation activities. Activities may also include program office support, studies, technical analysis, prototyping, training, and mitigations to address Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages associated with production and fielding of the AEHF family of terminals. The FY 2026 request was reduced by $0.679 million for Advisory and Assistance Services (A&AS) to promote efficiencies and advance the policies of the Administration in alignment with EO 14222 "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Cost Efficiency Initiative." The FY 2026 request was reduced by $0.050 million for Inflation Rate adjustments.
