Abstract

A DoD study team is presently examining future commercial Ka-band satcom systems for their potential to meet DoD communication requirements. Substantial commercial capacity is expected to exist in 2010, offering significant potential to augment DoD-owned systems. Although a DoD Candidate Commercial Requirements Document has been published, more requirements definition and refinement is needed. Possible DoD courses of action range from anchor tenancy to “wait and see.” The DoD study team has recommended a course of action regarding commercial broadband systems to the senior DoD leadership
