In addition the questions and answers that were asked during the MUOS Industry Day are posted below. Vendor Questions MUOS Industry Day Briefing vendor questions Rockwell Collins: Are contractor field team installation plan? Answer: Depends on MUOS solution and it is being considered. General Dynamics: What is the sparing plan? Answer: Standard 10% for now Raytheon: How many instances of MUOS use at a time? Answer: Simultaneous voice and data. Data rate depends on AMC requirements. L3/Harris: Will there be other SATURN/MUOS users? Answer: No AMC ground stations. Other MAF platforms are installing MUOS and usage is dependent on ATC. L3/Harris: Does the KC-135 plan on using Video Teleconferencing over MUOS like the Special Air Mission aircraft? Answer: No VTC, voice and data only. Raytheon: Will this be a federated install or connected to FMS? Answer: Current communications are on FMS, MUOS voice also to be connected to FMS. Red and Black LAN configurations TBD. Raytheon: Who owns FMS? Answer: Rockwell Collins owns FMS L3/Harris: How are the Red and Black LAN to be applied? Answer: Maintain current Black connectivity…possibly ACARS data and similar unclassified data. Red BLOS Data usage is TBD, depending on AMC guidance once Concept of Operations (CONOPS) are better defined. Raytheon: What data capabilities are you looking for? Answer: ACARS data type set, front end use only. AMC has not solidified their CONOPS yet so we are open to suggestions on how other platforms are using secure data. MUOS IPT: Do you (industry) expect band width issues in the future once MUOS is proliferated in theater? Industry: MUOS is designed to be self-managing depending on number of users and data rates. The data rates will decrease as more users are on the system and those with lower priorities will be kicked off.
