This book was released on 2017-09-13 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DOD) wants to create a networked force where soldiers and systems are able to operate together seamlessly. To help facilitate this transformation, DOD began the Transformational Satellite Communications System (TSAT) program in January 2004. We reported in 2003 that TSAT was about to begin without sufficiently mature technology. In this report, at your request, we followed up with an assessment of (1) how the TSAT program is progressing, and (2) whether the program is using an acquisition approach that will provide the knowledge needed to enter product development.

Download or read book Transformational Satellite TSAT Communications Systems written by Maurice M. McKinney and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Transformational Communications Office's (TCO) 17 December 2003 report states, "The current SATCOM and data relay systems are unable to meet future bandwidth demands. They lack capacity, in both aggregate data rate and the number of users they can support.... Furthermore, the life expectancies of the existing space segments and much of their associated terminal and management segments do not extend beyond the 2010-2015 time frame." These shortfalls and the military's insatiable demand for bandwidth led to the creation of the Department of Defense's (DOD) TSAT. TSAT's five-satellite constellation will be capable of delivering advanced capabilities to the war fighter via 8,000 radio frequency (RF) links and between 20 and 50 laser communication (lasercom) links. These advanced capabilities will deliver significant communications bandwidth by incorporating advanced laser and RF technologies, software-configurable terminals, packet switching, network management, and interface standards. All of these technologies will rely on Internet protocol (IP) interoperability as the enabling technology for connecting the war fighter. The thesis of this paper is that the advanced capabilities provided by TSAT are limited and will not be sufficient to serve the ground-based portion of the communications network supporting network-centric warfare (NCW). To validate this proposition, this study will start by identifying space-based systems that will enable NCW, discuss the requirements for ground-based NCW, and finally determine the combination of spaced-based systems sufficient to deliver advanced capabilities to the war fighter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DoD) is moving ahead to establish the next generation of warfighting communications capabilities needed for global net-centric operations. The key programs that make up this new capability are the Transformational Satellite Communications System (TSAT), the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS), and the Defense Information Systems Network-Next Generation (DISN-NG). These programs will greatly enhance the ability of the DoD to share information, in real-time if required, improve command and control, and ultimately transform DoD operations. This article provides an update on the DoD's communications programs vision and status of the TSAT, JTRS, and DISN-NG programs.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DOD is not meeting original cost, schedule, and performance goals established for the TSAT program. When the program was initiated in 2004, DOD estimated TSAT's total acquisition cost to be $15.5 billion and that it would launch the first satellite in April 2011. TSAT's current official cost estimate is nearly $16 billion, and the initial launch date has slipped September 2014-a delay of over 3 years. Furthermore, DOD has changed the TSAT program to an incremental development approach and under this approach, the initial delivery of capability will be less than what DOD originally planned but the performance goal of the full five-satellite constellation has not changed. After DOD established initial goals for TSAT, Congress reduced the program's funding in fiscal years 2005 and 2006 because of concerns about the maturity of critical technologies and an aggressive acquisition schedule. DOD developed the original goals before it had sufficient knowledge about critical TSAT technologies, rendering the goals unreliable. In early 2004, when DOD initiated the TSAT acquisition, only one of seven critical technologies was mature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extensive revision of the best-selling text on satellite communications — includes new chapters on cubesats, NGSO satellite systems, and Internet access by satellite There have been many changes in the thirty three years since the first edition of Satellite Communications was published. There has been a complete transition from analog to digital communication systems, withanalog techniques replaced by digital modulation and digital signal processing. While distribution of television programming remains the largest sector of commercial satellite communications, low earth orbit constellations of satellites for Internet access are set to challenge that dominance. In the third edition, chapters one through three cover topics that are specific to satellites, including orbits, launchers, and spacecraft. Chapters four through seven cover the principles of digital communication systems, radio frequency communications, digital modulation and multiple access techniques, and propagation in the earth’s atmosphere, topics that are common to all radio communication systems. Chapters eight through twelve cover applications that include non-geostationary satellite systems, low throughput systems, direct broadcast satellite television, Internet access by satellite, and global navigation satellite systems. The chapter on Internet access by satellite is new to the third edition, and each of the chapters has been extensively revised to include the many changes in the field since the publication of the second edition in 2003. Two appendices have been added that cover digital transmission of analog signals, and antennas. An invaluable resource for students and professionals alike, this book: Focuses on the fundamental theory of satellite communications Explains the underlying principles and essential mathematics required to understand the physics and engineering of satellite communications Discusses the expansion of satellite communication systems in areas such as direct-broadcast satellite TV, GPS, and internet access Introduces the rapidly advancing field of small satellites, referred to as SmallSats or CubeSats Provides relevant practice problems based on real-world satellite systems Satellite Communications is required reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students in satellite communications courses and an authoritative reference for engineers working in communications, systems and networks, and satellite operations and management.
