- 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
