As one of the world's premier dual-use commercial and military suppliers for SATCOM and MILSTAR, Rockwell Collins has teamed with industry leaders for the Family of Advanced Beyond-Line-of-Sight Terminals (FAB-T). The FAB-T program upgrades the existing satellite communications for Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) modes, increasing data capacity resulting in a faster data transfer rate between airborne platforms and ground command posts. This program will also establish a network-centric, SCA-compliant family of terminals that use a common open system architecture to link users to different satellites. It will also enable planned incremental capability for robust, secure strategic and tactical communications between ground, air and space platforms.

The first planned increment of this protected product line provides connectivity with the MILSTAR and AEHF satellites. The next increment includes support of Wideband Global System operations on surveillance aircraft, including Global Hawk and Predator, with other platforms to follow in the future.

The FAB-T increments will develop capabilities to support waveforms including the Extremely High Frequency (EHF) waveforms, AEHF, Global Broadcast System (GBS), Ka-band Wideband Gapfiller System/Transformational Satellite Communications (WGS/TSAT) waveforms and Ku/Common Data Link (CDL) waveforms.
