***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.
