Product Code: R215-467Description Recent events in the Middle East have significantly demonstrated the importance of military satellite communications in enabling the warfighter to effectively project force and conduct military operations. Rapidly growing information requirements and the increasing unpredictability of who and where we may fight, have made our satellite communications systems even more critical.
Superior satellite communications are absolutely essential to fight and win on the modem day battlefield. We must act now to ensure that our near-term needs and emerging requirements are recognised, documented and reflected in a responsive, integrated, and affordable architecture to support our armed forces well beyond the turn of the century.
