Commercial Broadband SATCOM Program (CBSP) Commercial

Telecommunications Services Statement of Objectives (SOO)

1.0 Introduction and Scope

1.1 Introduction.

The U.S. Navy has leased commercial telecommunications services to augment

Government owned and operated telecommunications systems for more than a decade.

These services include satellite capacity, land earth station (LES) services, baseband equipment provisioning, terrestrial connectivity, monitoring & control, operations, repair

& maintenance. Together, these services provide connectivity between Navy’s global fleet of L-Band (INMARSAT) and C-Band AN/WSC-8(V)1/2 and AN/WSC-6(V)9 shipboard SATCOM terminals and shore-based telecommunications infrastructure. Navy acquires these services via existing Commercial Wideband SATCOM Program (CWSP) and Inmarsat contracts. The Navy is migrating from these legacy programs to a new commercial program called the Commercial Broadband Satellite Program (CBSP).

Figure 1 below provides a simplified operational view of the CBSP.

Figure 1

The Government’s objective is to acquire worldwide commercial telecommunications services to include: C, Ku, and X-band satellite resources, land earth stations, terrestrial backhauls, and bandwidth management services for CBSP. Beginning in Section 3 below, the Government will describe its technical and operational requirements and objectives for transitioning legacy programs to CBSP.

1.2 Scope

The required CBSP architecture consists of three (3) parts or segments – user terminal

(ship or shore, mobile or fixed), space, and shore; however, this SOO will only focus on the later two segments- space and shore. Together, the 3 segments provide an end-to-end service. End-to-end service is defined as a full-period full-duplex connection or circuit between the Government's designated Point of Presence (PoP) ashore and the end user terminal through a means of satellite, Land Earth Station (LES) and terrestrial telecommunications connectivity. The latter two segments, space and shore, will be satisfied by commercial telecommunications services and are the focus of this SOO.

However, while the user terminal segment is beyond the scope of this SOO, it must be thoroughly understood by the commercial telecommunications services Contractor in order to meet Government’s objectives for the CBSP. Figure 2 below illustrates the

Contractor’s area of responsibility for end-to-end service.

3.2 Technical Objectives

3.2.1 Space Segment. CBSP space segment is defined as the commercial satellite resources needed to establish connectivity between the CBSP user terminal segment and the CBSP shore segment. The following are the specific objectives for the CBSP space segment:

• Commercial satellite resources compatible with the CBSP user terminal segment described in Appendices I and II. Appendix I contains CBSP user terminal technical characteristics for use by the Contractor in identifying commercial satellites compatible with both legacy and new CBSP user terminal variants.

Appendix II contains detailed technical specifications for the three (3) new CBSP terminal variants that will eventually replace the legacy user terminals.

• Assured access to satellite resources in the commercial C, X, and Ku frequency bands as available to best satisfy the operational needs of the CBSP user terminal segment at all times during the contract period. In this case, assured access means that satellite resources shall be available to the CBSP user terminal segment when, where, and for as long as required (i.e., non-pre-emptable).

• Space segment frequency band portability on a space available basis that allows

Navy operators of multi-band CBSP user terminals to select and/or change operating frequency bands to adapt to changing mission requirements.

• Commercial satellite resources in sufficient quantities to satisfy threshold CBSP user terminal data throughput and quality of service requirements of all user terminals fielded during the entire 5-year contract. Table 1, below, summarizes

CBSP data throughput requirements.

Table 1

Appendix III provides CBSP terminal segment fielding information and translates

Table 1 data rate thresholds into regional RF bandwidth estimates by contract year and CBSP user terminal variant type. This information is provided to help the

Contractor provide space segment capable of satisfying threshold CBSP data throughput requirements.

• Accommodation of CBSP space segment requirements growth beyond that shown in Appendix III, Table 3 to eventually support the objective user terminal data rates of Table 1 above and end-strength of 225 user terminals as detailed in

Appendix I. These terminals (and associated throughput) may be concentrated at a single point at any location within their respective regions or be spread across the regions. The satellite links must be able to account for this uncertainty.

• Space segment accessible by the CBSP user terminal segment within geographic areas (i.e. satellite coverage footprints) to threshold coverage requirements. CBSP space segment coverage requirements are as follows:

o For CBSP user terminals capable of operating in commercial C-band, the

Government requires coverage greater than or equal to 95% of the area between latitudes 65N & 65S worldwide (threshold requirement) and

100% of that area worldwide (objective requirement).

o For CBSP user terminal capable of operating in commercial X-band, the

Government requires coverage greater than or equal to 95% of the area between latitudes 65N & 65S from 100W longitude to 110E longitude

(threshold requirement) and to 95% of the area between 65N & 65S worldwide (objective requirement).

o For CBSP user terminals capable of operating in commercial Ku-band, the

Government requires littoral coverage to CBSP operating regions A, SA, H, E, G, J, and PI, as identified in Appendix III, between latitudes 65N &

65S worldwide (threshold requirement) and to 100% of the area between latitudes 65N & 65S, worldwide (objective requirement).

o The terminal can support satellite tracking with inclinations up to 12 degrees.

• The Government requires a strategy to accommodate CBSP space segment requirements growth to eventually meet the objective coverage requirements as described above.

3.2.2. Shore Segment. The CBSP shore segment consists of a number of geographically separated commercial Land Earth Stations (LES) and the terrestrial telecommunications connectivity between them and designated Navy points of presence (PoP). The CBSP shore segment supports the terminal segment by providing the necessary link between

CBSP space segment and Navy communications networks ashore. The following are the specific objectives for the CBSP Shore Segment:

• LES Services o LES services that are compatible with the CBSP Space Segment described in section 3.2.1 and Appendix IV of this SOO.

o LES services of sufficient quantity and in appropriate geographical locations to interface with the CBSP Space Segment. LES backhaul to

DoD facilities shall satisfy the threshold bandwidth requirements of the

CBSP User Terminal Segment at minimal cost to the Government.

Locations of LESs are at Contractor discretion with the exception of those supporting commercial X-band satellite operations, which shall not be located within territory of the United States (i.e., US & P).

o An LES need only connect to a single Navy PoP (if this allows requirements in this SOO to be met), and a given Navy PoP may support any number of connections from LESs. The Contractor can determine which PoPs are connected directly to LESs as needed to provide the required performance at the lowest costs.

o Accommodation of the Navy’s occasional use of the DOD teleport if and when required.

o LES Services capable of accommodating CBSP objective requirements

(i.e., future growth).

o Landing rights and a station license for each proposed domestic LES location in accordance with FCC Policies and Procedures. The

Government will require a copy of the domestic LES FCC coordination and Station license for each LES location. Additionally, for C-Band operations, the Government requires Prior Coordination Notifications

(PCN) frequency analysis and commercial coordination for each domestic

C-Band LES location in accordance with FCC 47CFR, Part 25 Satellite

Communications. The Government will require a copy for the domestic

PCN analysis and commercial coordination results. If a foreign country

LES is utilized, the Government requires that the vendor will be responsible for initiating host nation coordination with regard to landing rights, station license and paying applicable fees for each LES. The

Government will require a copy of all licenses and documentation for each

LES located in a foreign country.

o Domestic C-Band operations shall comply with PCN frequency analysis and commercial coordination conducted at domestic homeport locations as indicated in Appendix VI.

• Modems, Baseband Equipment, and Terrestrial Connectivity o Accommodation of a combination of Government Furnished Equipment

(GFE) ,specifically modems ,and Contractor Furnished Equipment (CFE) .

The terminal shall acquire a satellite in 5 minutes or less, given that the terminal is in a stable operating condition (fully warmed up after the application of prime power). The satellite acquisition time shall be the time required to point an antenna reflector at a satellite and establish tracking of a signal from that satellite. This acquisition time performance shall be achieved under all operating environmental conditions specified herein. The terminal shall achieve the acquisition time specified herein using only nominal beacon or communications signal frequencies, ship’s location and heading, and the satellite's nominal points of latitude and longitude. The terminal shall provide for manual entry of ship's heading, position and satellite location, and for default values in the event the ship's gyro compass heading information is not available.

3.2.5.3. Satellite Tracking

The antenna and its control and tracking system shall automatically track Ku-band satellites including but not limited to INTELSAT, EUTELSAT, and SES-Americom satellites (to include satellites with inclinations up to 12 degrees) over the range of earth-referenced elevation angles from 10 degrees to 90 degrees and in the presence of platform motion specified in section 3.4. The antenna shall support continuous azimuth rotation and tracking error shall not cause degradation of the transmit and receive signal levels in excess of 0.5 dB root-mean-square (rms) computed over a 20 running second time interval.

The antenna shall support continuous azimuth rotation without the use of cable wrap or other similar design that would cause a link outage during normal operation. Tracking error characterization shall include the simultaneous effects of combined ship motion and vibration. The terminal shall reacquire the satellite after removal of any blockage (due to known ship's blockage or unexpected external blockage) in 5 minutes or less. A loss of the ship's attitude information input (heading) shall not cause a loss of tracking.

3.2.5.4. Transmission Control

The terminal shall inhibit RF transmission for an antenna when the antenna LOS (Line of Sight) is not in a coverage zone, within 100 milliseconds of exiting the coverage zone, when the antenna is faulted, under

EMCON (Emission Control) conditions, or upon loss of receive signal indicating possible loss of line-of-sight with the satellite.

3.2.5.4.1. Coverage Zones

The terminal shall have a means of defining and storing an antenna blockage profile based on ship's superstructure that block the antenna's LOS to the satellite or where personnel or hazardous material

(HAZMAT) might be subject to radiated RF energy. The terminal shall utilize a two dimensional map that allows the storage of installation-dependent boundaries consisting of a set of deck-referenced pointing angles defining safe elevation angles versus train angles with a resolution of at least 1 degree in azimuth by

1 degree in elevation.

The terminal shall support the capability for personnel in the field to load and store coverage-zone boundary parameters in nonvolatile memory. The nonvolatile memory shall be capable of being programmed multiple times, as may be dictated by future ship alterations or operating conditions.

3.2.5.4.2. Fault Condition

The terminal shall monitor antenna operation and equipment health for fault conditions. For fault conditions which pose hazardous conditions to personnel, material or potentially cause adjacent satellite interference, the faulted antenna shall be placed in a standby mode and the operator shall be alerted. For all other fault conditions, the operator shall be alerted via the Operator Interface Unit (described in section

3.2.6 and 3.2.7).

3.2.5.4.3. EMCON Condition

The terminal shall include a transmit disable capability. From the Terminal’s operator interface, the user shall be able to disable transmit. When disabled, the terminal shall provide positive indication that the terminal is in EMCON mode. With the terminal in EMCON, unintentional radiation emissions shall not exceed -110 dBm/m² at one nautical mile (-105 dBm/m² at one kilometer) in any direction from the antenna over the frequency range of 500KHz to 40 GHz when using the resolution bandwidths listed in table II.

Frequency Range (MHz) 6dB Bandwidth (kHz)

The terminal’s gyro compass interface shall accommodate a 3-wire, 90 volt alternating current (Vac), 60-Hz and/or 400-Hz synchro format signals and a 2-wire, 115

Vac, 60-Hz and/or 400-Hz reference signal. The interface shall accommodate acceptance of own ships course (OSC) synchro voltages in either coarse (1X) speed or fine (36X) speed.

3.2.5.6. Positioning Information (GPS)

If the terminal system requires positioning information (GPS formatted) to acquire and maintain satellite track, the contractor shall be responsible for providing and integrating a

Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM) compliant Global Positioning

System (GPS) unit with the terminal system. The GPS antenna shall be integrated into the same footprint encompassed by the radome. If the contractor elects to use GPS then operation of the GPS within design parameters shall not preclude the terminal from meeting other provisions of this specification.

3.2.6. Operator Interface Unit (OIU)

The terminal shall include a human-computer interface function. One OIU shall be provided, collocated with the below-decks terminal equipment. The OIU shall include only the necessary applications for monitor, control, diagnostics, configuration and operation of the terminal.

3.2.7. Terminal Control

The terminal control function shall be capable of being directed by the operator through the use of an OIU. Other means for operator control of the terminal, such as front panel controls on individual equipment, may be provided.

3.2.8. Ship’s Power and Frequency Characteristics

The terminal or terminal’s external power interface shall be suitable for installation using 440 Vac or 115 Vac, 60 Hz, ungrounded ship's power as defined by MIL-STD-

The antenna, including dish, pedestal, and radome, shall be located above deck. The OIU and any other equipment requiring front-panel interface for normal terminal operation shall be collocated below deck. All other equipment shall be located above deck or below deck as necessary to meet the system requirements. Above-deck locations are exterior to the ship and are exposed to weather extremes. Locations below decks are in interior compartments that provide a controlled environment for normal operating conditions. The physical characteristics of the equipment shall be as specified in 3.2.9.1 through 3.2.9.3.

3.2.9.1. Size

The size of the terminal shall be as specified in a) through c) :

a) Each terminal antenna including radome shall fit within an envelope with maximum dimensions of 56 inches in the plane of the deck and 57 inches in the vertical dimension. The deck plane dimension specified is in the plane through the swept volume parallel to the deck plane and is not necessarily the dimension of the government supplied antenna pedestal mounting base. The envelope shall be wholly above the plane of the deck; below-deck penetration shall not be allowed. No above-decks equipment shall be allowed except within the specified envelope.

a) Antenna and all above decks equipment shall not exceed 200 pounds (lbs).

b) The fully loaded weight of the below-decks equipment cabinet shall not exceed 300 lbs.

Individual below-decks equipment units and assemblies weighing more than 100 pounds shall require two-man lifting and shall provide handles and grasp areas as defined in ASTM F 1166.

3.2.9.3. Radome Coloring

The CBSP Antenna Radome shall be Navy haze-gray in color as specified by Federal Standard 595A, color number 26270.

3.3. Terminal Modem

The terminal system shall include two (2) modems: one (1) capable of static operation and one (1) capable of dynamic operation. Both modems shall be capable of supporting Ku-band carriers. The vendor may choose to combine static functionality and dynamic functionality into a single modem unit, but no preference will be given to a design of this sort.

The dynamic terminal modem system shall be defined as either a satellite modem with a built in management system or a satellite modem that is capable of integration with an external management system. At a minimum, the management system shall automate control over frequency, bandwidth allocation and power level. The dynamic terminal modem system shall support bandwidth on demand. It accomplishes this by aggregating network traffic from many users (ships) virtually at the satellite. When one user has little traffic (either transmit or receive) the dynamic terminal modem system allows other users to use the satellite resources that would have been set aside in a static single channel per carrier (SCPC) system. The modem system does this continuously and automatically. DVB-S2/DVB-RCS is one example of this modem type, but is not preferred over an alternate solution.

3.3.1. Static terminal modem

The static terminal modem shall provide frequency division multiple access (FDMA) operation in support of Ku-band carriers.

3.3.1.1. Transmission Function Requirements

The static terminal modem shall provide the capability to multiplex end-user data with modem-to-modem control data. The modem shall conform to the transmission function characteristics specified in 3.3.1.1.1 through 3.3.1.1.4.

3.3.1.1.2. Forward Error Correction (FEC)

The static terminal modem shall provide forward error correction (FEC) coding capabilities via Viterbi, trellis, convolutional (VTC), Reed-Solomon (RS), and Turbo Coding (TC) techniques.

3.3.1.1.3. Modulation

The static terminal modem shall be able to modulate an IF signal at data rates specified in 3.3.1.1.1. The modem shall interoperate with binary phase-shift keying (BPSK), quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK), offset QPSK (OQPSK), and eight phase-shift keying (8-PSK).

3.3.1.1.4. VSAT Mode

The static terminal modem shall provide a power-on default, operator de-selectable, VSAT mode which prohibits the modulator from having its output enabled until the demodulator has achieved full lock. With

VSAT mode enabled, the modem shall inhibit modulator output power until the demodulator has achieved full lock. Once the link has been established and the modulator output enabled, modulator output shall be dependent upon the modem maintaining demodulator lock. In the event that demodulator lock is lost, the modem shall turn off the modulator output. The modem shall automatically turn modulator output back on when the demodulator reacquires and locks. Manually deselecting VSAT mode shall not automatically turn on an inhibited modulator output, but shall require a separate operator action.

3.3.1.2. IF Characteristics

The static terminal modem shall provide an IF interface tunable from ≤ 1000 MHz to ≥ 1700 MHz in ≤ 1 kHz increments compatible with the terminal transmit and receive chains.

The modem shall be able to operate with IF input offsets from the nominal expected frequency which include the Doppler shifts specified in 3.3.1.3.2. The transmit IF and receive IF should be independently configurable in 1 kHz increments or less. The modem shall provide a means of looping the modem IF output to the modem IF input in such a manner that no additional cabling utilized during normal configuration is required.

3.3.1.3. Reception Function Requirements

The static terminal modem shall conform to the reception function characteristics in 3.3.1.3.1 through

3.3.1.3.2. Doppler

The static terminal modem shall support a Doppler shift, rate of change, and acceleration for satellite inclination up to 12-degrees as presented below in Table II, and an additional 0.5 dB added to the reference E b /N

PARAMETER Ku-Band

Doppler Shift in Hz ± 6,045
