Secure Mobile Anti-Jam Reliable Tactical - Terminal

The Secure Mobile Anti-Jam Reliable Tactical - Terminal (SMART-T) is a Category II Major Capability Acquisition program within the Department of Defense. This program involves the development, procurement, and sustainment of secure tactical communications terminals designed to provide anti-jam capabilities for military operations. As an Acquisition Category II program following the Major Capability Acquisition pathway, SMART-T represents a significant but non-major defense acquisition program focused on delivering critical communications infrastructure.

The contract awards associated with SMART-T primarily consist of delivery orders for hardware components, repairs, spare parts, and technical support services, with individual contract values ranging from approximately $3,500 to over $100 million and performance periods typically spanning 1-5 years. Raytheon Company serves as the primary contractor, with work primarily performed in Marlborough, Massachusetts. The majority of contracts were awarded by the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command without set-aside designations and structured as Firm Fixed Price delivery orders. Key deliverables included Terminal Control Interface Devices (TCID), elevation motors, transceiver components, and Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) modification kits. Technical support services encompassed evaluation, repair, and field support activities. Notable contracts included AEHF upgrades and modifications worth over $90 million each, demonstrating the program's evolution to support advanced satellite communications capabilities.
