In July 1988, Hughes Space and Communications Company won the competition for a fixed-price contract awarded by the Program Executive Office for Space, Communications, and Sensors in Washington, D.C. The initial agreement called for Hughes to build and launch one satellite, with options for nine more. Options for spacecraft 2 and 3 were exercised in May 1990; for 4, 5, and 6 in November 1990; and for 7, 8, and 9 in November 1991. In January 1994, the customer extended the contract by ordering a 10th satellite and launch services, bringing the total value to $1.7 billion. In March 1996, for an additional $150 million, the Navy ordered a high-power, high-speed Global Broadcast Service (GBS) payload to be incorporated onto the last three satellites. This Phase II GBS package will revolutionize communications for the full range of the Defense Department’s high-capacity requirements, from intelligence dissemination to quality-of-life programming. The first GBS payload was put into service in 1998. Full, three-satellite operational capability is planned for mid-1999. The UHF F/O spacecraft has proven to be a very flexible platform for the efficient evolution of critical, advanced DOD communications services. The satellites are versions of the Hughes body-stabilized, three-axis HS 601 model. The spacecraft was introduced in 1987 to meet anticipated requirements for high-power, multiple-payload satellites for such applications as UHF F/O, direct television broadcasting to very small terminals, private business networks, and mobile communications. The HS 601 body is composed of two main modules. The bus module houses the bus electronics, propulsion subsystem, and battery packs. The payload module contains the communications equipment and antennas. The UHF Follow-On contract calls for a minimum 10-year mission. The UHF Follow-On satellites replace the Fleet Satellite Communications (FLTSATCOM) and the Hughes-built Leasat spacecraft currently supporting the Navy’s global communications network, serving ships at sea and a variety of other U.S. military fixed and mobile terminals. They are compatible with ground- and sea-based terminals already in service.

Using a building-block approach, Hughes and the Navy are enhancing the constellations capabilities in stages. Satellites F-1 through 3 carry UHF and SHF (super-high frequency) payloads. Starting with F-4 there is an additional payload for EHF (extremely high frequency) communications. F-7 introduced an enhancement to the EHF package that essentially doubles capacity. The SHF payload is replaced by the GBS package on F-8 through 10. The UHF F/O satellites offer increased communications channel capacity over the same frequency spectrum used by previous systems. Each spacecraft has 11 solid-state UHF amplifiers and 39 UHF channels with a total 555 kHz bandwidth. The UHF payload comprises 21 narrowband channels at 5 kHz each and 17 relay channels at 25 kHz. In comparison, FLTSATCOM offers 22 channels. The F-1 through F-7 spacecraft include an SHF subsystem, which provides command and ranging capabilities when the satellite is on station as well as the secure uplink for Fleet Broadcast service, which is downlinked at UHF.
