“Today's smaller military force performs force projection missions on a global scale, against an unpredictable threat. Warfighters depend on space-based technologies to provide command and control communications, to employ high-technology sensors and weapon systems, and to access the vast array of realtime intelligence and information that provides decisive advantage for mission success.
Over the past two decades military satellite communications systems have become increasingly important to our ability to project force and conduct military operations around the globe. Rapidly growing information requirements and the increasing unpredictability of who and where we may fight, make our satellite communications systems more critical every day.
Military needs are diverse and require a mixture of satellite communications services to support wartime operations. This mixture includes the use of the military frequency bands as well as augmentation from commercial communications satellites. We must also look to evolving satellite communications capabilities such as global broadcast service, personal communications service, and bandwidth on demand to meet tomorrow's warfighter requirements.
Military and commercial satellite communications systems, tied seamlessly into the terrestrial infrastructure, must provide assured and survivable communications on demand, on the move, and around the globe.
The design of a responsive future architecture, with the right mix of military and commercial satellite capabilities, must be based on critical analysis of all requirements. Warfighter requirements are paramount to the design of future space support capabilities. Superior satellite communications are absolutely essential to fight and win on the modem day battlefield. We must act now to ensure that our near-term needs and emerging requirements are recognized, documented and reflected in a responsive, integrated, and affordable architecture to support our armed forces well beyond the turn of the century.” – Joseph W.
