WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Navy's Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) was deemed fully operational following a successful multiservice test event conducted last month, reports InsideDefense.com. A Navy spokesman confirmed that deputy chief of naval operations for information warfare and director of naval intelligence Vice Adm. Matthew Kohler signed off on the milestone October 28.

The October test event, known as the Multiservice Operational Test and Evaluation (MOT&E), involved the Navy, Marine Corps, and Army. The test showed that the system was operationally effective and provided the required survivability against cyber-attacks needed to become fully operational.

MUOS is a next-generation narrowband satellite communications system that will replace UHF Follow-On satellites. The new system was designed to be compatible with legacy terminals. Five MUOS satellites were delivered to orbit between 2012 and 2016.

Last week, the Navy awarded a $732 million contract to General Dynamics for MUOS ground system sustainment.
