CCS Meadowlands Capabilities Advancements over CCS 10.2 - Pt 1 1 - Automatable:

Multi-system control allows one operator to control 300% more simultaneous missions Increased mission automation 2 - Upgradeable:

Revolutionized GUI, layout reimagined w/ ops input, 300% increased mission control from main screen Miniaturized & digital tech enables 80% cables reduction and future enhancements Antenna agnostic design reduces obsolescence risk while opening pathways to future technologies 3 - Improved Performance:

Up to 10-kilometer separation between antenna and ops shelter for greater force protection

80% Cable Reduction CCS Meadowlands: 1 operator = 3 simultaneous missions CCS 10.2: 1 operator = 2 simultaneous missions

Improved signal monitoring & phase noise performance No longer requires a prior knowledge of common signals of interest Significant reduction in error vector magnitude increases sensitivity to engage previously undetectable signals Improved signal waveforms; 4x increase in target signal opportunities 4 – Remote capable: Geographical remote ops

CCS Meadowlands Capabilities Advancements over CCS 10.2 - Pt 2 5 – Transportable:

Flexible Configuration & Shortened Hardware Setup Timeline (add # of hours, lay down area reduction, etc.)

CCS Meadowlands enables a 50% reduction in aircraft required for transport Reduced Operational and Logistical footprint required ~ 83% reduction in hardware transit cases Reduced hardware set-up timeline by 80%

Operational Mission/Context

Space Dominance 2030 OV-1

SEW is the only Offensive Space Control capability in Ops today but requires continual enhancements to counter adversary’s growing use of SATCOM Strategy enables flexibility to adapt to changes in adversary’s capabilities and agility to respond to the needs of Operational Users Space Delta 3, 4th EWS (AD COS), 76th EWS (AD HI), 114th EWS (ANG FL), 138th EWS (ANG CO), 216th EWS (ANG CA), 293rd EWS (ANG HI) SEWOL is an essential element of the USSF Space Superiority enterprise, providing incremental delivery of worldwide SEW C2 capabilities before we review the capabilities on contract, I’d like to touch on operational context Here we have a 2030 space domincance OV-1 As you can see, command and control is essential to space superiority Space EW requires continuous development and enhancements to counter the adversary’s growing use of SATCOM SEWOL, operated by the 76th, will be modular and flexible to adapt to adversary capabilities

SEWOL OV-1

Here is the SEWOL OV-1 showing the cloud-based connection between the SEWOL cloud applications, common operating locations, Combined Space Operations Center (CSpOC), C2 Database-as-a-Service (DaaS) and SEW systems including Counter Communications System (CCS) Block 10.3 (Meadowlands) and Remote Modular Terminal (RMT).

Meadowlands is a ground-based SEW system specifically designed to reversibly deny, disrupt, and deceive adversarial SATCOM. It is a trailer-mounted system operated remotely over a TS/SCI network. RMT is also a ground-based SEW system designed for electromagnetic support and electromagnetic attack against SATCOM. In contrast, RMT is on a smaller platform optimized for low-cost and large-scale deployment and autonomy to operate in a Secret network. SEWOL will interface and provide C2 capabilities for Meadowlands, RMT, and future SEW systems.

SEWOL Vision SEW operators to be able to effectively operate a globally proliferated, resilient, scalable architecture.

A modular, cloud-hosted system to enable remote operations and real-time decision making across the Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations (EMSO) enterprise.

Unlike the current paradigm that requires a large crew to control a collocated system, SEWOL to integrate the full counter-SATCOM EMSO C2 warfighter capability with fewer resources.
