Description
Description — FABT FORCE ELEMENT TERMINAL
The Family of Advanced Beyond Line-of-Sight Terminals (FAB-T) Force Element Terminal (FET) program was transferred from Space Force (PE 1203001SF / WSC FET000 / Appropriation 3022 / PSF) to Air Force (PE 0303131F / WSC CVR000 / Appropriation 3010 / APAF). Transfer Memo signed by the Space Force and Air Force Service Acquisition Executives (SAEs) on 12 Nov 2024. Activities funded in this program continue to pay for AN/USQ-225 weapons system (WS) modernization, integration into multiple legacy systems, other ongoing Nuclear Command, Control and Communications (NC3) acquisition programs, and future capabilities for the overall AF NC3 WS. FAB-T FET replaces the Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Milstar terminals and provides secure, protected, and survivable communications for the strategic warfighter through airborne-based Military Satellite Communication (MILSATCOM) terminals. The FAB-T FET will provide worldwide nuclear and non-nuclear, survivable, anti-jam Low Probability of Detect (LPD)/Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) data and voice communications. The FAB-T FET will be interoperable with Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF), Enhanced Polar Systems - Recapitalization (EPS-R), and satellite constellations utilizing waveforms will be installed on the B-52 aircraft (threshold). The FAB-T FET development program was executed as a Middle Tier of Acquisition (MTA) under R-1 Program Element 1203001SF, Family of Advanced BLoS Terminals (FAB-T). The program is planned to transition to the Major Capability Acquisition (MCA) Pathway at conclusion of MTA. This budget line provides funding for the follow-on production portion of the program. Funding for this exhibit is contained in PE 1203001SF.
Justification
Justification — FABT FORCE ELEMENT TERMINAL
No FY 2026 funding is required in the Procurement, Space Force (Appropriation 3022) FET000 program line, due to the program's transfer to the Air Force's Aircraft Procurement, Air Force (Appropriation 3010) account. FY 2024 funding actuals reflect a 9.9 million reprogramming due to funds being early to need.
