The GBS program office is proceeding with its non-transmission security (TRANSEC) solution to address obsolescence issues and vulnerabilities and enable fielding of new receive suite products. Activities include testing new versions of GBS specific software with new hardware components, coordinating test resources, and executing path check-outs through teleport gateways and the Defense Enterprise Computing Center Satellite Broadcast Manager. Government Qualification Testing was successfully held in October 2015 as planned. Forty-nine deficiencies were identified of which 16 have been closed; courses of action have been identified for those remaining. The program office continues to plan and coordinate resources for regression testing starting in February 2016 followed by Operational Testing in May/June 2016. Operational Acceptance (OA) is projected for November 2016. The program office continues to support the DoD effort to develop a replacement TRANSEC solution. Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), the lead agency for this effort, has a program entitled Enterprise Satellite Communications (SATCOM) Gateway Modem. DISA issued a Request for Information in May 2015 to support Commercial Product Analysis. From that, DISA down-selected potential modems to undergo demonstration and performance testing at the Joint SATCOM Engineering Center December 2015 - March 2016. GBS technical staff participates in stakeholder meetings to ensure GBS requirements will be met.
