Boeing calls the anti-jam capability integrated on the WGS its Protected Wideband Satellite design.<\/p>\n<p>On-board testing of the PTS-P is planned for 2025 and afterward will be available to transition to operational use. The \u201cPWS works seamlessly with all the existing WGS user terminals, while allowing gradual fielding of PTW (protected tactical waveform) modems in a theater of operation,\u201d Boeing said. PTW is a military waveform that does frequency hopping to avoid jamming.<\/p>\n<p>Northrop Grumman&nbsp;is also under contract for a PTS-P payload.<\/p>\n<p>Separately on Thursday, Boeing\u2019s Millennium Space Systems company said its TETRA-1 microsatellite launched last fall has successfully completed system checkout, leading to full operational control by Space Systems Command (SSC).<\/p>\n<p>The satellite will be used for prototype missions in and around geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTETRA-1 has helped us learn about small satellites\u2019 potential to operate in super GEO,\u201d Capt. JeanCarlo Vasquez, deputy program manager for TETRA-1 at SSC, said in a statement. \u201cDue to TETRA-1\u2019s maneuverability, it has enabled us to experiment and train with various tactics, techniques, and procedures. Thus, allowing our program office and operators to identify what roles small satellites can potentially plan in future USSF missions. Furthermore, TETRA-1\u2019s robustness permitted SSC to work with Space Delta 11 in Space Training and Readiness Command and perform maneuvers dedicated solely to a live on-orbit training campaign knowns as \u2018Scarlet Star.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>This article was first published by Defense Daily.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boeing on Thursday introduced its design for an anti-jam payload that has been integrated into a U.S. Space Force satellite communications spacecraft scheduled to be launched in 2024.
