For five years, Indotronix developed core aspects of the Mobile User Objective System (MUOS), ranging from Waveforms to JTRS-AMF

Background

Indotronix provided systems engineering, integrations, and information assurance services for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD)’s Mobile User Objective System (MUOS). MUOS is the DoD’s next-generation satellite communications (SATCOM) system, designed to provide voice and data communications for U.S. forces anytime, anywhere. Our client was a large global Defense firm that was responsible for the MUOS ground transport architecture which provides cell phone-like communications for mobile warfighters. Specifically, the MUOS waveform converts a commercial third-generation (3G) Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) cellular phone technology to provide a new and more capable UHF military SATCOM system.

Challenges

The biggest challenge was making sure all resources had access to the required infrastructure and client stakeholders.

Objectives

Our engineers were responsible for:

• WCDMA/SM/Wave Forms development
• eWFv1.3 software development
• PCR Manager Support
• Build Manager Support
• FPGA design and modifications
• SCA Modeling
• Hardware redesign to meet MUOS waveform standards

Services Provided

Our teams were engaged on the project for over five years, delivering more than $10.5 million worth of services to the client with all deliverables meeting specifications in the areas of Software-Defined Military Radios & Base Stations, SATCOM, Security Information Assurance, and Space Surveillance.

We delivered not only on the MUOS program but also on the JTRS-AMF, ATRS-HMS, and Future Combat systems.
