During Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), the
Department of Defense’s use of commercial satellite communications rose to 96%
of the total satellite communications in theater while MILSATCOM was only
providing 4% of the total.
J.J. Shaw will discuss:
• Recent U.S. and Worldwide Governments’ satellite communications trends
• Reasons for governments’ growing dependence on commercial satellite communications
• How the industry is moving to make commercial satellite communications more
protected, resilient and robust.
