operate in the 2 MHz-2 GHz frequency range,
provide reconfigurable waveform/network services
to deliver all Service and Joint Staff
requirements for voice, video, and data
communications in the airborne and maritime/fixed

meet a wide variety of platform satellite and
tactical communications requirements across a
wide range of platform types, from unmanned
aerial vehicles to multi-position wide-body,
multi-role aircraft. In the Maritime/Fixed
Station domain, the ancillary components will
improve end-to-end tactical communications within
Navy fleet radio rooms and all Services fixed
