- Description
- The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) intends to issue a solicitation to ViaSat Corporation, 6155 El Camino Real, Carlsbad, CA, for the development of Integrated Waveform (IW) software for the Network Controller Subsystem (NCS) of Joint (UHF) MILSATCOM Network Integrated (Control System) (JMINI) Initial Operating Capability (IOC). The IW software implements the latest approved Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Satellite Communications (SATCOM) military standards (i.e. MIL-STD-188-181C and MIL-STD-188-185). The contractor will develop, integrate, test and certify the IW software for the NCS. In addition, the contractor will provide modification to the technical manuals, training materials, training classes, and technical assistance to upload the IW software to fielded terminals via the NCS. The UHF SATCOM system provides the US Department of Defense (DoD) and other US Government departments and agencies critical beyond line-of-sight communications for tactical and special forces operations. UHF SATCOM is the only commercial or military system that can operate under all weather conditions and cover. However, the currently implemented UHF SATCOM Demand Assigned Multiple Access (DAMA) waveforms (MIL-STD-188-181B, -182A and ?183A) are no longer technologically current, efficient and effective to fulfill the UHF SATCOM user operational requirements. DISA revised the UHF SATCOM standards to IW, which maintains consistency with user needs and evolving technology. To achieve the IW benefits for present operations, DOD has selected a number of user terminal types, which must be upgraded to IW. The NCS is the system that will provide the IW control for those terminals. The intended contract is for two IW phases, which will implement MIL-STD-188-181C and MIL-STD-188?185 and will provide maximum benefit to the warfighter in a shortened development time. Phase-I will support single access (one NET per channel) and multiple access (multiple networks per channel using Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA)). The work is estimated at 5 staff years. Phase-II will support demand assignment capability and is estimated at 20 staff years of work. The IW software developed under both Phase-I and Phase-II will be integrated into the NCS that will provide the IW control for the terminals. See Note 22.
