Description
Section I: PTES Description & Background
The Protected Tactical Enterprise Service (PTES) is the ground system segment of a system designed to provide an anti-jam (AJ) wideband Satellite Communications (SATCOM) capability. The initial use of PTES is intended for the tactical warfighter using the Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) satellites. Later phases of the program will support other suitable satellites that can be a transponder for the Protected Tactical Waveform (PTW). PTES consists of components for the Joint Hub (JH), Mission Management System (MMS), Key Management System (KMS), Key Loading and Initialization Facility (KLIF), and Network Management System (NMS). A PTES JH functions in conjunction with user terminals to support PTW operations on its Forward Link (FL) and Return Link (RL). The initial JHs are being developed and deployed to support WGS operations. A Joint Hub Variant (JHV) will be developed along with MMS upgrades to support operations on other satellite systems including those in Medium Earth Orbit (MEO).
The purpose of this RFI is to conduct market research on the expected cost, schedule, and required effort associated with modifying the design of the WGS Joint Hub for commercial MEO and GEO applications.
Section II: PTWoC GEO and MEO JHV Efforts
PTW over Commercial (PTWoC) will extend PTES support of PTW to operate over Commercial SATCOM (COMSATCOM) in Geostationary Orbit (GEO) and Medium Earth Orbits (MEO). This requires additional terrestrial PTES Joint Hubs and changes to the MMS. The need for Joint Hubs supporting commercial GEO satellites can be satisfied with baseline WGS PTES Joint Hubs which will henceforth be designated as GEO Joint Hubs Variants (GEO JHV). Modifications to the JH will be needed to support MEO satellite operations, which will be designated MEO Joint Hub Variants (MEO JHV). The strategy is to minimize the military unique requirements and maximize commercial-ready technology in fielding of ...
