3. Aircraft Wireless ICS (AWICS) Existing Aircraft Intercom System Safety improvement being fielded to mitigate long cord entanglement hazard Integrated Aircraft Interface Unit (IAIU) WIRED WIRELESS IAIU 1 per acft EME Windtalker Encryption Device (WED) EME with J Box Enhanced Mobile Equipment (EME) • User Group Can Talk to: • Each Other • Pilots • Ground Crews • System is adaptable to a variety of ground platforms User Group 31 users on one IAIU with up to 6 simultaneous talkers Encrypted AWICS program with US Army suspended due to shipboard EMI Issue, program being rebaselined

4. Interest Items FY15/16 Aircraft Wireless Inter-Com System (AWICS) • Encrypted system capable of operating in the shipboard EMI environment and compatible with existing aircraft ICS, Headset and microphone combinations • Platforms: CH-53E, HH-60H, MH-53E, MH-60S, MV-22B & UH-1Y • Alternative Options study ongoing, RFI released:

5. TACCOM/ARC-210 AESA radar Over 140 airborne, seaborne and land based platforms use ARC-210 equipment.

6. Over The Horizon CommunicationsMobile User Objective System Why MUOS? • Combatant Commanders depend on Narrowband SATCOM to complete critical missions requiring Beyond Line Of Sight (BLOS) communications • Existing UHF satellites are currently over subscribed and demand is increasing • Availability of channels for missions is rapidly declining due to health of legacy satellites • Legacy UHF capacity will be at 40% capacity by CY16 • No MUOS capable airborne radios exist today • Mobile User Objective System developed as a replacement for the UHF Follow On (UFO) satellite constellation • IOC in 2012 (one satellite) • FOC in 2016 (four satellites) • Each Satellite will have 2 payloads • Legacy UHF payload with ½ number of usable accesses* • Modern MUOS payload • UFO to MUOS Capacity Improvement MUOS is vital to future UHF SATCOM operations

7. Interest Items FY15/16 Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) • TACCOM team investigating cost effective options for a MUOS capable airborne terminal for Naval Aviation. Trade space in terminal development cost, Terminal recurring cost, Platform Integration Non recurring and recurring installation costs. • Potential Platforms: E-2C/D, E-6B, VH-60N/VH-3D, CH-53E/K, MH-53E, MH-60S/R, MV-22B, KC-130J, Firescout, BAMS & UH-1Y • RFI responses received from Industry, study ongoing
