What is the MGUE Overarching Strategy?
• May 2010 ADM by USD(AT&L) directed us to deliver capability ASAP• Deliver a usable capability as close as possible to FY13
• We’re completing a successful Technology Demonstration Program• Achieved M-Code Crypto, SAASM, C/A-code, AT and AS capability• Implemented several new policies, programs, and requirements
• GPS User Equipment Information Assurance Program• USD(AT&L) Anti-Tamper program• Trusted Foundry program• ICDs 703, 722, 723, etc….
• 3 prototype contracts 2 development contracts maintains industrial base • Implement DoD policies on efficiencies and affordability
Leverage technology developed under MUE Finish Discovery
Mature the technology and move into EMD
