Abstract
The Department of Defense (DoD) Teleport program offers advanced reach-back capabilities for the deployed warfighter, enabling them to use a wide variety of satellite capabilities including enhanced functionality in Ku, C, X, UHF, EHF, KA, HF bands, and legacy C4I. The Teleports are built upon the existing STEP sites, which currently provide wideband, X-band capability over the DSCS satellite constellation. The narrowband, ultra high frequency (UHF) capabilities include the use of ViaSat RT-1828 terminals with NIPRNET and SIPRNET capabilities. For protected communications at extremely high frequency (EHF), three Navy EHF SATCOM Program (NESP) follow-on terminals (FOT) are planned for installation at six Teleport sites and one support site during Generation Two. Additionally, the system can provide cross-banding capabilities from the UHF and EHF terminals to wideband users. This paper provides an overview of the utilization of UHF and EHF technology in the DoD Teleport system.
