Who gets it

No single contractor is published as this line's leader. 1 linked award record is listed below. This line's high-confidence links do not clear the floor for a published concentration index — at least 3 awards across 2 contractor families holding positive obligations, with positive net linked dollars. Why the crosswalk is partial.

5 fiscal years of this program as published (FY2022–FY2026): a line through the actuals (filled dots), with the enacted (hollow circles) and request (diamonds) markers each edition reported. Read it for direction, not for precision — this program's actuals line falls across the span. The grid below is the same data as text, one cited figure per cell.

The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

● actuals (line) · ○ enacted · ◇ request — gaps are editions the program is absent from, never interpolated.

Decade series values by fiscal year and President's Budget edition: one row per series (actuals, enacted, request), one column per fiscal year. Every figure opens its own citation.

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.

The program's money traced left to right: the F appropriation, program element FBLOST (Family of Beyond Line-of-Sight Terminals), its 2 largest high-confidence awards, the 1 recipient family behind them, and the 2 congressional districts the work is recorded in. Read it for concentration — how few families and districts the awards run through. Amounts inside the diagram are illustrative per-award transaction sums; the table below carries the cited per-district obligations.

Contractor concentration

No concentration index is published for this line. This line's high-confidence links do not clear the floor for a published concentration index — at least 3 awards across 2 contractor families holding positive obligations, with positive net linked dollars. An index below that floor is a fact about the sample, not about the market. Whatever further links this line carries are medium-confidence, and what each medium evidence path does and does not establish is set out in the methodology. Both bases are in the downloadable warehouse.
