Australian, U.S. Forces To Share UHF Satellite Capacity

摘要

U.S. and Australian defense forces will share narrowband satellite capacity in the Pacific and Indian ocean regions following an agreement signed April 28 and a decision by Australia to double the amount of military communications capacity it is buying from commercial satellite fleet operator Intelsat, defense officials from both countries said.rnThe bilateral agreement will give the Australian Defence Force (ADF) access to the U.S. Department of Defense's future Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) constellation of satellites to provide UHF-frequency links to deployed troops.
