Better satellite relays, bigger advantages

Rapid deployment and movement of personnel across a theatre of operations will make more data available, but requires communication solutions that are reliable and easy to use.

Forward command posts are vital to the relay of real time data, information, and critical decisions between the frontline and operational command centers. Being dependent on current communication infrastructure limits the flexibility of deployment and can potentially lead to less efficient operations. On the other hand, with expanded communications flexibility real time information is always available to the decision makers, whether they are physically located in a forward command center or in regional command centers.

Modern UAVs generate increasing amounts of data, through the evolution of higher resolution imagers and the growing range of sensors. The expansion in data gathering and data rates make high-speed, resilient data relays crucial to their mission. At the same time, the ability to use multiband connections and lower latency constellations improve UAV control and operations from central command, offering more control loops and longer time on target. In short, the better the satellite relay, the bigger the advantages.
