***16 March 2021 Update***
THIS IS AN UPDATE TO THE INFORMATION
PRESENTED AT THE Mobile User Objective
System (MUOS) Service Life Extension
(SLE) MARKET SURVEY / REQUEST FOR
INFORMATION (RFI) INDUSTRY DAY. This
update is issued for planning purposes and
all information is subject to change.

The 2021 National Defense Authorization
Act (NDAA) reduced the MOUS Fiscal Year
2021 Research, Development, Test and
Evaluation (RDT&E) funding. This may delay
contracts and activities from the timelines
presented at the September 2020 Industry
Day.
Nevertheless, the Government’s objectives
and commitments to this effort remain
unchanged. PMW 146 intends to continue to
pursue acquisition of two additional WCDMA-
only MUOS satellites to be on orbit in the
2028-2030 time frame.
Questions regarding this announcement
shall be submitted in writing by e-mail to
[email protected] (copy
