Both programs are based on Boeing\u2019s 702X software-driven technology enabling real-time and automated beam-forming for improved stand-off performance and signal protection.<\/p>\n<p>The program is scheduled for launch in 2024, with on-orbit testing slated for 2025. After the on-orbit demonstration, the PTS-P payload will be available to transition for operational use.<\/p>\n<p>The PTS-P design features automated anti-jam capabilities, including jammer geolocation, real-time adaptive nulling, frequency hopping, and other techniques, harnessing the power of the U.S. military\u2019s Protected Tactical Waveform (PTW) to ensure the warfighter can stay connected in a contested environment.<\/p>\n<p>By flying PTS-P on the WGS-11 spacecraft as part of the WGS constellation, PWS works seamlessly with all the existing WGS user terminals, while allowing the gradual fielding of PTW modems in a theater of operation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe joint force is relying on us to deploy capabilities that enable secure communications in a prolific jamming environment,\u201d said Charlotte Gerhart, Space Systems Command\u2019s Tactical SATCOM division chief at the U.S. Space Force. \u201cWe also need mission-relevant speed and affordability, while being mindful of the evolving threat in the battlefield. The Boeing PTS-Prototype payload hosted on WGS-11 is an exciting leap forward for new warfighter capabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Protected Wideband Satellite combines significantly upgraded WGS capability with PTS-P\u2019s automated anti-jam features,\u201d said Michelle Parker, vice president of Boeing\u2019s Space Mission Systems. &nbsp;\u201cThis capability sets the stage for future generations of protected wideband systems that can operate in both legacy transponded and new onboard processed modes.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WGS provides the Department of Defense with a broad majority of tactical communications going through the constellation that currently includes 10 satellites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boeing has unveiled its Protected Wideband Satellite (PWS) design featuring Boeing\u2019s Protected Tactical SATCOM Prototype (PTS-P) payload hosted aboard the U.S. Space Force\u2019s Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS)-11 spacecraft.
