On 11 June 2008, the Communications Satellite Program Office (PMW-146), onbehalf of the Program Executive Office Space Systems (PEO-SS) and the Joint
PEO Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) and its Network Enterprise Domain
(NED) program office, hosted an industry day on the Mobile User Objective
System (MUOS) waveform. PEO-SS/PMW-146 manages the acquisition of the MUOS
under contract N00039-04-C-2009 with the prime contractor Lockheed Martin Space
Systems Company (Sunnyvale, CA). The MUOS system is comprised of the UHF
satellite constellation and its network integrated ground system, including the
MUOS Common Air Interface (CAI) waveform.
The MUOS capability will be delivered to the Warfighter via radio terminals
that are to be enabled with the MUOS waveform. Terminal production efforts are
not part of the MUOS contract N00039-04-C-2009 scope. JPEO JTRS manages the
terminal development & production efforts, and the NED program office manages
JTRS-related software efforts, which include upgrading the MUOS CAI waveform to
be ported onto the JTRS terminals.
The industry day agenda included: MUOS system overview; MUOS waveform
description; terminal link budget overview; MUOS-capable terminal use overview;
procedures for accessing the MUOS waveform; and restrictions pertaining to
working with the MUOS waveform. Attendees were given a CD of the materials
presented. Subsequently, answers to the questions submitted during the session
were provided as well. The information is ITAR controlled and, therefore, it
can only be released to U.S. citizens and private individuals or enterprises
