 | Without a coordinated team-effort, an army can not hope for control on the battlefield. Without effective communication, a commander can not hope for effective command and control of his army. In today's highly-centralized, global command network, standard terrestrial communications alone are insufficient. Satellite communication is indispensable for command and control on today's battlefield, but requirements for SatCom far outstrip available resources. To exacerbate this problem, demand for reliable, long-haul, high- ... |
