This book was released on 2001 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joint force commanders must have the right information at the right time in order to make the best decisions to conduct successful contingency operations in defense of U, S national security interests, A key enabler to this end is sufficient wideband satellite communications connectivity DoD's organic wideband satellite communications capabilities are inadequate, so commercial services must be used to overcome the shortfall, The problem is to dedicate enough resources in the most efficient manner to meet this growing need, and time is of the essence, This paper capitalizes on the vast work already accomplished concerning what DoD needs to do to obtain the commercial wideband satellite communications it needs, DoD is procuring advanced satellite ground terminals capable of using commercial wideband satellites and is contracting to launch more of its own capabilities, but the gap is continuing to widen, This paper offers a solution of procuring 140 percent of DoD's projected wideband satellite communications from commercial sources, to ensure sufficient capacity is available to support contingency operations.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DoD) is considering major investments in systems that exploit information to support warfighting, and communications between users around the globe will be key to transmitting and using this information. In the near term, there are not enough military systems to satisfy projected communications demand and commercial systems will have to be used. In the future, budgetary pressures will make it difficult for the services to satisfy the projected communications demand with dedicated military assets. This report seeks to answer several questions: 1) How much of the projected demand can be met with programmed and planned military assets?; 2) Can commercial technologies, systems, or services meet the remaining needs? How do commercial communication assets compare with military assets in their ability to meet criteria important to DoD? What steps might be taken to mitigate shortfalls?; 3) What is the expected cost of providing the projected communications demand?; and, 4) What investment strategies should DoD employ to minimize the expected cost? The many categories of military communications include everything from battlefield communications between mobile users to communications between fixed sites in rear areas. Some of these communications must be survivable in a nuclear war, and others need high levels of protection from detection, interception, or jamming. Some require verv high data rates, whereas others need only low data rates. Some communications can be by wire or fiber optic cable, whereas others must use wireless means. We have examined a specific category of communications-high bandwidth, minimally protected satellite communications. This category of military demand represents roughly half of the projected military satellite capacity needs. To the extent that use of commercial systems can satisfy this need, military systems can be used for more specialized communications needing a greater level of control over their operation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report assesses military use of commercial wideband satellites by evaluating their effectiveness across several characteristics defined by the United States Space Command. The cost of buying or leasing commercial systems is then found and compared with the cost of buying military systems with commercial characteristics.

This book was released on 2005-07-18 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States must operate successfully in space to help assure its security and economic well being. The Department of the Navy is a major user of space capabilities, although those capabilities are now primarily provided by DOD, the Air Force, and NOAA. Following a DOD assessment of national space security management in 2001, the Navy commissioned a Panel to Review Space to assess Navy space policy and strategy. As an extension of that review, the NRC was requested by the Navy to examine its needs in space for providing future operational and technical capabilities. This report presents a discussion of the strategic framework of future space needs, the roles and responsibilities for meeting those needs, an assessment of Navy support to space mission areas, and a proposed vision for fulfilling Naval forces space needs.
