What does the acronym MILSATCOM stand for?
|
Military Satellite Communications System
|
|
|
MILSATCOM includes which frequency capabilities?
|
Ultra High Frequency (UHF)
Super High Frequency (SHF Extremely High Frequency (EHF) |
|
|
What is the role of the MILSATCOM?
|
Provide reliable, secure communications in support of Department of Defense (DoD)Command, Control, Communications, Computer, and Intelligence (C4I) in all levels of conflect, i accordance with the current nationaa military strategy.
|
|
|
What are some advantages MILSATCOM offer?
|
Worldwide coverage, service to insolated areas, rapid expansion to new locations, reliable communications which exceed the range of line-of-sight (LOS) systems.
|
|
|
When will all MILSATCOM constellations life cycle end and what is done to bridge between today's UHF, SHF, and EHF and those that are predicted in 2010?
|
Between 2003-2007. Gapfiller or transition spacecraft are used now and a criticall tight tiemline exists to plan, budget and prepare for the replacement and/or replenishement of those different satellite constellations and terminal systems.
|
|
|
What is the definition of information domoniance?
|
The ability to rapidly derive, protect, transmit and employ information in a data-intensive battle space, while denying the enemy access to his own information infrastructure.
|
|
|
what are the two ways that network-centric warfare has the power for potentially increasing returns on investment?
|
Allows our forces to develop speed a command and it enables forces to organize from the bottom up-or to self synchronize- to meet the commander's intent.
|
|
|
Where does network-centric warfare derive its power?
|
From the strong networking of a well-informed but geographically dispersed force.
|
|
|
What is network-centric warfare composed of?
|
Information grids which tie together sensor grids(radar, space, acoustic) and engagement grids (ships, aircraft, ground armor, submarines and marine).
|
|
|
Enabling elements of network-centric warfare are:
|
high-erformance information grid, access to all appropriate information sources, weapons reach and nameuver with precision and speed of response, value-adding command and control (C2) processes (to include high-speed automated assignment of resources to need and integrated sensor grids closely coupled in time to shooter and c2 processes.
|
|
|
What is intellectual capital?
|
The importance of the warfighter to understand the true force of his/her combat power in such things as Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC), Global Command and Control System (GCCS) and Link 16.
|
|
|
Why is Financial capital crucial?
|
It is crucial in powering the Revolution of Military Affairs (RMAs). Delays will mean higher costs reduces combat power and failure to achieve the concept of Joint Vision 2010.
|
|
|
What is the Navy's umbrella strategy for enabling IT element of network-centric warfare?
|
Information Technology for the 21st Century (IT-21). (IT-21) provides for accelerated implementation of customer-led command, control, communication, computers and intelligence (C4I) innovation and existing C2 systems/capabilites (programs of record).
|
|
|
What is Transformation Process?
|
Describes the need for a process of co-evolution among technology, organization, and doctrine in acquisition of network-centric warfare. The main objective is to create an ethos for experimentation, innovation and willingness to risk across the force, instead of a small sample group.
|
|
|
What does the acronym GCCS mean?
|
Global Command an Control Systems
|
