Militaera Aspekter pae Satelliter Integrerade i Mobila Datakommunikationsnaet (Military Aspects of Satellites Integrated into Mobile Data Communications Networks).

摘要

Satellites and terrestrial communication networks are complement to each other. Satellites also fulfil military needs that terrestrial networks cannot satisfy. There are reasons for studying whether satellites ought to be integrated into a Swedish military terrestrial mobile data communication network. The report describes mainly the possibilities and advantages with satellites integrated into terrestrial mobile data communication networks, but also problems, shortcomings, and disadvantages are treated. In the beginning of a conflict, satellites can be used for setting up other systems fast and easy. The great flexibility characterising satellite communications will be of great advantage in the fragmented battlefield where satellites with advantage can be used for connecting 'islands.'
