TCA Goals

• An Architectural Framework Discipline
• to Guide the development of interoperable
  MILSATCOM, IC, NASA, and Commercial SATCOM
  through 2020
• Extend the Global Information Grid (GIG)
• through space, reduces bandwidth constraints,
  moves toward ubiquitous connectivity
• Synchronization of space communications
• terminals, terrestrial networks, ground
  infrastructure, and network management
• Supports goals for Narrowband, Wideband,
• and Protected communications
• next generation persistent space and airborne
  surveillance, civil space vision, and the mobile
  battlefield.
• Leverages Internet Protocol (IP) convergence
• supports net-centric interoperation of voice,
• video, data streams and command and control

• Leverages and shares advanced technology
• Such as laser communications, modern RF
  waveforms, spacecraft IP routers, nulling
  antennas, mobile terrestrial Comm on the Move
  antennas, encryption technology, and software
  driven terminals
• Supports Communication Transport
• of Horizontal Information Sharing across the
  U.S. government and with coalition partners

Transformational Communications Architecture

• TCA is a space transport-level architecture that
• Works in concert with the Global Information Grid
  (GIG) to help synchronize multiple acquisitions
• Promotes standards and interoperability
• Delivers time-phased capability in an
  evolutionary approach
• Supports information architecture concepts that
  enable critical Information Sharing needs of the
  U.S. DoD, Intelligence Community and Civil Space
