Abstract :
What is the GBS (Global Broadcast Service) now? What technological limitations must be overcome for GBS to be operationally effective in the near term? What will GBS be tomorrow? What cultural and doctrinal changes are needed for GBS to be an effective DoD system in the long term? These are just some of the important questions about the GBS system which the analytical, acquisition, and operational communities are considering and which are discussed in the present paper
