C-37A

C-37A Modification 1123 Crypto Mod 1, aims to modernize the Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Military Satellite Communication (SATCOM) System for the C-37 aircraft fleet. This initiative involves replacing the obsolescing UHF SATCOM system with an ARC-210 Gen VI system to connect to the Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) satellite constellation. The goal is to provide secure, global, beyond line-of-sight satellite voice and data communication for National Senior Leader connectivity. The program also supports performance of a full financial audit as required by title 10 U.S.C. Chapter 9A, Sec 240-D.

The specific objectives of this program include purchasing sixteen (16) kits and conducting Non-Recurring Installation Engineering required for sixteen (16) C-37 installations in FY25. Additionally, the program involves addressing policy-mandated cryptography modernization efforts directed by the National Security Agency and DoD Chief Information Officer. The expected outcome is to ensure secure and reliable communication capabilities for high-ranking United States government officials during their worldwide travels.
