TSAT Cancellation Effects USD AT&L ADM and SecAF memorandum directed the following:

Terminate TSAT program Plan to acquire AEHF SV5-6 and additional WGS SVs Review and update relevant ICDs and plan for comprehensive MSA Plan for possible evolutionary opportunities for AEHF, WGS, and free flyers Take action and plan to utilize TSAT technology investments Take action and plan to preserve Government intellectual capital and industry base

RFI evaluates COMSATCOM technology/offerings applicability for MILSATCOM Determine if recent COMSATCOM products offer MILSATCOM “game changers” for pre-2025 Investigate alternative acquisition approaches, including: hosted payloads, modified commercial satellites, and alternative business relationships Companion work to related DISA/GSA Leased SATCOM initiatives Commercial SATCOM RFI Purpose and Emphasis Expanded Consideration of Commercial Alternatives
