The Government has been contracting with The Boeing Company to deliver WGS Satellites 7 through 10, plus the associated control segment products to provide theater and global communications for the warfighter, with a period of performance through 31 March 2018. The proposed sole source contract modification will provide enhanced mitigation and X-band anti-jam capability for the Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) satellite constellation. The contracted effort will provide enhanced WGS Anti-Jam capabilities and fielding at Joint SATCOM Engineering Center/Control System Lab (JSEC/CSL) and all five Wideband Satellite Operations Centers (WSOCs). The scope of this work includes: - Adaptive nulling - Geolocation - In-service X-band Array Calibration - Phased Array Beam Generation Additionally, these anti-jam enhanced activities include personnel, services, hardware and software products, tools, data, facilities, and processes required to manage, plan, design, develop, install, test, support, and verify that the WGS MAJE capability is in compliance with requirements as set forth by the WGS program office at JSEC/SCL and all WSOCs. Boeing has matured the technologies needed to implement the enhanced anti-jam capabilities - ground based adaptive nulling, geolocation and in-service x-band array recalibration, in addition to owning proprietary data and technologies needed to complete the design if the anti-jam enhancement that meets the needs of the Government.
