The mission of the Space Force Portfolio Acquisition Executive for Satellite Communications and Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (SATCOM and PNT) is to deliver resilient commercial and military satellite communications and integrated PNT capabilities.

Mission Areas

Satellite Communications (SATCOM)

• Narrowband: Keeps warfighters connected via ultra-high frequency (UHF) that cuts through weather, dense foliage, and urban canyons for continual battlespace awareness and targeting.

• Tactical: Moves data into the fight with high-capacity X- and Ka-band for video, targeting, logistics and Command & Control (C2) plus modern anti-jam capabilities to fight interference, denial, and deception.

• Strategic: Guarantees secure, survivable, and endurable global Nuclear Command, Control & Communications (NC3) through all phases of conflict.

Global Positioning System (GPS)

• Replacing older GPS satellites with next-gen technology that increases accuracy and anti-jam capability.

• Upgrading user equipment to accommodate M-Code, a stronger, more secure, jam-resistant GPS signal.
