Military Satellite Communications

摘要

Military SATCOM (MILSATCOM) continues to provide the spine for connectivity across armed forces although the market is also now witnessing the proliferation of alternative means of communication as defence departments consider how to counter the so-called "Day Without Space". Recent uplifts in SATCOM technology have seen the introduction of capabilities for SATCOM On The Move (SOTM), High Altitude Pseudo Satellites (HAPS), and expendable Low Earth Orbit (LEO) nano-satellites although armed forces continue to worry about maintaining communications in an Anti-Access/Area-Denial (A2AD) operational theatre which includes a GPS-denied environment.
