Mission Description and Budget Item Justification Minimum Essential systems provide assured communications connectivity between the President and the strategic deterrent forces in stressed environments. There are three on-going MEECN activities working to modernize strategic forces' communication networks. - MEECN Systems Improvements (MSI) is a long-range planning process with Users (Air Combat Command (ACC), Air Force Space Command (AFSPC), US Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), Air Mobility Command (AMC), and the Navy) to develop positions for current and future requirements/issues based on available technology. - Minuteman MEECN Program Upgrade (MMPU) updates existing systems composed of Minuteman ICBM Launch Control Center (LCC) Very Low Frequency/Low Frequency (VLF/LF) along with a Minuteman ICBM LCC Extremely High Frequency (EHF) communications capability. MMPU will provide a capability in the LCC for the Missile Combat Crew Members to have operator control of the terminal to switch among various EHF/AEHF satellite constellations and be compatible with Advanced EHF (AEHF). AEHF is an Extended Data Rate (XDR) waveform that provides more secure transmit/receive at frequencies above 20 GHz. - Ground Element MEECN Systems (GEMS) provides a secure, survivable inter-site and intra-site and mobile VLF and EHF communication to bomber, tanker, reconnaissance units and other communications facilities with strategic responsibilities. GEMS replaces existing mission-deficient systems. GEMS will also be upgraded to AEHF with the XDR waveform. This program is Budget Activity 07, Operational System Development, because it supports work on currently fielded weapon systems. Page-1 of 16 Exhibit R-2 (PE F) 455

Mission Description and Budget Item Justification This project upgrades existing Minuteman ICBM Launch Control Center (LCC) Extremely High Frequency (EHF) communications to provide a capability for Missile Combat Crew Members to have operator control in the Launch Control Center of the terminal to switch among various EHF/AEHF satellite constellations and be compatible with Advanced EHF (AEHF). AEHF is an Extended Data Rate (XDR) waveform that provides more secure transmit/receive at frequencies above 20 GHz. The AEHF terminal will provide both receive and report-back capability. The terminal operator control modification will allow missile combat crews to transition between MILSTAR, UFO/E and UFO/EE satellite constallations without dispatch of a maintenance team. These modifications comply with USSTRATCOM requirement for MMP terminals to communicate at higher data rates. This program is in Budget Activity 07, Operational System Development, because it supports work on fielded operating weapon systems. B. Accomplishments/Planned Program ($ in Millions) MMP Upgrade Technology Development System Development and Demonstration (SDD) to include: AEHF terminal integration, AEHF modem design, cryptographic upgrade, weapon system hardness analysis, hardware development and software development for AEHF and improved operator control, analysis of power and cooling requirements, antenna integration, analysis of Software Compliant Architecture (SCA).

Mission Description and Budget Item Justification Ground Element MEECN Systems (GEMS) will be comprised of EHF/AEHF, VLF/LF, HF, UHF and Aircrew Alerting components and will provide secure, survivable inter-site, intra-site and mobile communications to bomber, tanker, reconnaissance and other communications facilities with strategic responsibilities. GEMS terminals will be developed and fielded to replace strategic mobile and fixed-site Single Channel Anti-jam Man-Portable (SCAMP) terminals. GEMS will also replace the Aircraft Alerting Communications Electromagnetic Pulse System/Electromagnetic Pulse Hardened Dispersal Communications (AACE/EHDC) systems. - GEMS' primary mission is to provide strategic Wing Command Posts and mobile support teams survivable communication paths to receive EAMs and Force Management messages from Nuclear Command and Control (NC2) nodes and disseminate them to bomber, tanker, and recce aircrews, as specified by OPLAN GEMS will provide solutions to existing capability shortfalls for NC2 and has significant potential to provide distributed and transportable command and control capabilities beyond the traditional NC2 mission - GEMS is the last line of operational comm when all other peacetime links fail. This program is in Budget Activity 07, Operational System Development, because it supports work on fielded operating weapon systems. B.
