SATELLITE Conference :: Government/Military

Civil Space: Business Opportunities for the Commercial Sector

NASA/ESA/JAXA - What does the drive to further space exploration and continue human space flight mean for the companies that do business with these government agencies? What other areas might be impacted by the technology development? And what impact will the budget constraints have on other areas such as robotic space probes and Earth observing missions. This panel will discuss business initiatives and future procurement opportunities.

Commercial Military SatCom 2008: Buy, Sell or Hold?

Commercial satellite industry sales to the government have been strong for the last 5 years. This panel will examine the fundamental changes currently taking place in the DoD commercial SATCOM marketplace. Panelists will examine how a wide range of issues, including possible troop redeployments, introduction of the WGS satellite system, the 2008 election, and a challenging budget environment, will effect DoD's acquisition of commercial satellite bandwidth and services. Will commercial satellite sales to the military continue to grow? Or is the boom about to go bust?

Comms on the Move (COTM): Defining the Military Requirement

The military has been a key customer and arguably the single most important technology innovator in satellite communications with initiatives sponsored by the U.S.-based DARPA as well as other government agencies around the globe. For current and future implementations of "Netcentric Warfare" as well as the expected rise in intelligence gathering and reconnaissance missions in many of the globe's hotspots and emerging flashpoints, COTM solutions for air, land and sea will become integral components of the network architecture. This session will examine the requirements for bandwidth, security protocols, terminal equipment, antenna systems, frequency bands, encryption and other emerging requirements the military will demand to implement a coherent and highly secure network umbrella for use by the future warfighter and other mobile assets.

Comms On The Move, Comms On The Pause: Enabling The Soldier Of One

Commercial satellite communications are critical to military information superiority and serve a significant role in support of the Global Information Grid (GIG). The increasing demand for mobile communication services for military operations has helped to further develop the technology and systems that support special operations and "comms-on-the-move" or "comms-on-the-halt" for mobile military command posts. This panel discussed the current and future application of the technology and the systems needed to meet the ever increasing warfighter communication requirements.

Comms-on-the-Move: Portable IP-Based Solutions for War-Fighters and First Responders

First responders can use the radios they use every day, and VSAT or BGAN backhaul, to create a familiar communications system anywhere they deploy. The solutions available include handheld PDA devices for disaster inventory, generic cross-banding equipment and portable cell towers. Providers will highlight their rapid deployment solutions while emphasizing that satellites are part of the solution.

DSTS-G The Sequel: Predictions, Insights and Anticipation for 2011

For 7 years, the DSTS-G contract has been the primary means by which the DoD has contracted for commercial satellite services. The DSTS-G contract is due to expire in 2011 and an active debate has already begun on how to structure the follow-on contract. In this lively discussion, satellite operators, integrators, and manufacturers will debate the future of DoD leasing, management, and oversight of commercial satcom usage.

Emergency Response Solutions: The Users & Suppliers Perspective

When emergencies due to man-made or natural disasters arise, satellite services have proven the communications tool of first resort. The satellite communications community is poised to respond with its own plans. Among the flurry of users, do we know who our customers are? If we do: how are we/or not reaching them? Come and hear first hand what emergency response users expect from the satellite industry and how satellite services suppliers are preparing.

Help Us Help You: Assuring Access to Satellite Communications

Satellite services have rapidly become an indispensable tool of the modern war-fighter. As DoD's reliance on satellite capacity has grown, so has the awareness that new techniques are necessary to assure access to these vital services. The panelists will examine a range of creative strategies for assuring military access to satellite bandwidth, including: Hosted payloads, Operationally Responsive Space, Pre-positioned capacity, public-private partnerships, and much more.

ITAR Impact: What Does the Future Hold?

The U.S. Department of State's International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) continue to present a significant hurdle for the U.S. commercial satellite industry while, conversely, opening up opportunities for aggressive non-U.S. vendors. The progressive evolution of manufacturing and launch capabilities in China, India, and other countries, and already well-developed consulting expertise outside of the U.S., is increasing pressure on the competitiveness and profitability of the U.S. commercial satellite industry. U.S. industry does not question the paramount importance of U.S. national security. But does the ITAR, and its current administration, enhance U.S. national security? Or, paradoxically, does the ITAR and its current administration actually harm U.S. national security?

Opening General Session: Commercial and Military SatCom Shortfalls: Government Competition for a Scarce Resource

As bandwidth use by government, broadcast and enterprise users continues to rise, predicted commercial and military satellite communications capacity shortfalls become more of a concern. This panel will address current military satcom systems under development, how government agencies can procure required capacities, and how industry can meet those requirements with better government predictions on capacity.

Operationally Responsive Satellites: How the Satellite Industry is Putting the

For the past few years there has been a substantial focus on the term "Operationally Responsive Space." It has been described as quick launch, small satellite payloads, quick delivery times on orbit, commercial leases, responsive payloads, movable spot beams and hosted payloads. However, should the focus be on the military user requirements, rather than the responsive capabilities that industry can offer?

Space Situational Awareness

As commercial satellite operators and civil and military agencies continue to launch and operate fleets of satellite in LEO, MEO and GEO, are close approaches between these satellites becoming more of an issue? Today there are billions of dollars in hardware orbiting at thousands of miles an hour around the earth. Should government operators coordinate with industry, or should industry coordinate with the government? Who is responsible for keeping the neighborhood safe?
