Information Dominance: Why the Army is Interested in Space Control

摘要

The performance capabilities of current micro circuitry technologies and the rapid maturation and proliferation of their fabrication processes have resulted in a virtual worldwide availability of cost effective, highly capable and miniaturized communication products and services to include a plethora of miniaturized communication units (voice and/or data) with multiple spectrum access and multiple high-speed data management modes. In addition, large regional communication support systems have emerged to support these communication products in even the most remote areas around the globe. For the radio frequency communication links, regional systems facilitate highly reliable communication through repeater/boosting and netted station functions that often incorporate autonomous signal filtering for improved clarity and auto path management (trunking) of data for optimal throughput and speed. In addition, many current systems are emerging with sophisticated interface capabilities into existing hard wire communication architectures to expand reach into earlier generation systems at remote locations and provide the flexibility to handle diverse data formats.
