A 'New Path' to Meet the U.S. Military's Satellite Needs

The Defense Department has reached a turning point in satellite communications acquisition and deployment, writes guest blogger Rebecca M. Cowen-Hirsch.

Space Fence Completes Critical Design Review

Construction of the world’s largest digital phased array radar kicks off on Kwajalein Island.

More than 500,000 pieces of debris, or “space junk,” are tracked as they orbit the Earth. They all travel at speeds up to 17,500 mph, fast enough for a relatively small piece of orbital debris to damage a satellite or a spacecraft.

Advancing the State of Artificial Intelligence Assistants

DHS and NASA join forces to develop technology for first responders, and potentially, the world.

Helicopters drop water and fire retardant on a fire near the Mexican border. AUDREY will provide tailored information to firefighters, whether in the air or on the ground.

MUOS-4 Satellite Up and Running

The control team is communicating with the satellite hours after launch.

MUOS-4 will enable near-global coverage for a new secure military communications network offering enhanced capabilities for mobile forces.

Inmarsat to Launch Third Global Xpress Satellite Aug. 28

Inmarsat Incorporated plans to launch the anticipated third satellite of its Global Xpress network August 28 from Kazakhstan, a re-do launch after a previous attempt this summer was delayed. The third satellite is needed for complete coverage of the international company’s program to heighten global communication capabilities on land, at sea and in the air.

Lockheed Martin to Support P-3 Aircraft for Multiple Countries

Lockheed Martin receives a contract with a five-year ordering period for engineering services for the P-3 Fatigue Life Management Program.

Lockheed Martin Corporation is being awarded a $32,289,173 contract for engineering services in support of the P-3 Fatigue Life Management Program for the U.S. Navy; other government agencies, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NASA, and the U.S. Customs Border Protection; and multiple countries.

Army Satellite Communications Terminals Support an Agile Force

A variety of technologies enables networking in diverse conditions.

Several technologies are enhancing U.S. Army satellite connectivity. For small team-size elements, the Global Rapid Response Information Package (GRRIP) is deployed in a single transit case the size of a carry-on bag and can be set up in minutes. GRRIPs provide secure, unclassified communications to forces operating in austere and demanding environments.

Northrop Awarded Joint Tactical Ground Station Funds

Northrop Grumman Systems Corp., Boulder, Colorado, was awarded a $15 million modification (P00023) to contract W9113M-12-C-0055 for b

Next-Gen Satellite to Deliver High-Speed Mobile Wideband

Inmarsat's Global Xpress still awaits launch of third satellite to complete ubiquitous coverage effort.

Simplicity, Security and Reliability From Mobile Satellite Providers Benefit Government

Instead of magnifying technological problems, companies should minimize them for customers with complex missions.

A U.S. Army soldier works with a power unit supplying a satellite antenna during an exercise. Military and civilian governments increasingly will benefit from future satellite network systems that are smaller, lighter and simpler and use less power.
