THEME
Track Synopsis US space capabilities are an
increasingly important contributor to the US
military. One of the key areas in which space
contributes to US warfighting capabilities is in
extending warfighting capabilities that are
highly dynamic and flexible to deployed forces in
enclaves around the world. This track will
discuss space support to the warfighter, the
LandWarNet and Joint Operations and will
illustrate how the Army leverages Joint
capabilities and benefits from the coordination
and advocacy which US Strategic Command provides
for Joint communications, battle command and
networking.

Track 9 - Session 7 Improving Effectiveness and
Efficiency of Military Use of SATCOM Thursday, 24
Aug 06, 0845 - 0945. Speaker Mr. Steve Brozo,
SMDC/ARSTRAT G-6 inviting co-speakers from
USSTRATCOM J66 and DISA-GE (as Systems Engineer
for SATCOM) Theme This session will discuss the
evolution from circuit-switched trunk-based
architectures to more dynamic packet-switched
use-and-release architectures. Each general
category of SATCOM (protected, narrowband,
wideband) will be analyzed to identify areas
where processes can be improved to be more
effective. Specific focus will be on Host

What We Do

• Providing extension to the GIG and LANDWARNET via
  Intra- and Inter-theater satellite connections
• Narrowband
• Wideband
• Protected Band
• Commercial
• Process improvements (effectiveness and
  efficiency) should be evaluated due to technology
  insertion across the board

9
Effectiveness and Efficiency

• Host Nation Approvals (HNA)
• DoD SATCOM Access/Authorizations
• COCOM User Validation
• Commercial SATCOM Procurement
• SATCOM Database (SDB)

10
Host Nation Approval

• Not Just a Case of Landing Rights
• Landing Rights is the Agreement Between a
  Country and a Satellite Provider to Receive the
  Satellites Signals in That Country
• Landing Rights Are Not the Right to Own or
  Operate a Satellite Earth Terminal
• Landing Rights Do Not Convey the Right to
  Transmit in a Given Country, Nor to Connect to
  the National PSN
• Landing Rights Do Not Convey the Right to Operate
  a Satellite Terminal in a Given Country Without
  the Countrys Permission
• These and Other Approvals Are Considered a Part
  of the Host Nation Agreement

11
HNA Licenses VS. Authorizations

• In Most Countries, Earth Stations Have to Be Both
  Authorized and Licensed
• Authorization Involves Factors Such As Location,
  Percent of National Ownership, and Noncompetition
• Licensing is Technical in Nature, and Deals With
  Parameters Such As Beamwidth, Transmission
  Frequency Clearance, and Payment of Appropriate
  Fees and Permissions
• One does not necessarily include the other
• It is Entirely Possible to Get an Earth Station
  Authorization and Never Get It Licensed by the
  Host Nation
• Many Times This Process Is Held up for Political
  Reasons
• May require Embassy Involvement

14
HNA Effectiveness and Efficiency

• Maintain HNA Agreements once approved
• Once a process is successful document the
  process for future reference

15
Effectiveness and Efficiency

• Host Nation Approvals (HNA)
• DoD SATCOM Access/Authorizations
• COCOM User Validation
• Commercial SATCOM Procurement
• SATCOM Database (SDB)

16
SAR Process (Typical)

• Users submit SAR to COCOM for validation
• COCOM validates SAR using the SDB management tool
• COCOM forwards SAR to the appropriate G/RSSC for
  processing
• SSC reviews detailed SDB information and
  communications plan to compare mission
  parameters, including bandwidth, between SAR and
  the SDB entry
• SSC determines if the SAR can be supported or not
• SSC either denies access or allocates SATCOM
  transport and issues appropriate Satellite Access
  Approval (SAA) or denial

17
SATCOM Allocation Process
18
SAR/GAR Effectiveness and Efficiency

• Allocation based on plans
• Supportability based on larger approved
  communications plan
• Allocation separate from DISN provisioning
• Under new SI 714-4 process, all SATCOM accesses
  require a SAR/SAA
• Only the SSCs allocate SATCOM resources
• Goal to move from message traffic to automated
  process
• PACOMs Communications Automated Request System
  (CARS)
• USSTRATCOM/DISA - Joint Integrated Systems for
  Advanced Digital Networking (JIST-NET) Automated
  SAR/GAR system

19
Effectiveness and Efficiency

• Host Nation Agreements
• DoD SATCOM Access/Authorizations
• COCOM User Validation
• Commercial SATCOM Procurement
• SATCOM Database (SDB)

20
How Can You Become More Effective?
Be More Proactive!
21
Be More Proactive

• We (the Army) Need To Articulate Requirements to
  the COCOM

• The COCOM decides how many SATCOM resources you
  will have to fulfill your training and real world
  operational requirements
• We must ensure the COCOM J6s understand Army/
  LANDWARNET SATCOM requirements

-
22
Be More Proactive

• Schedule and Coordinate More Training
• - Communication Planner and Operator skills
  are
• very perishable
• - Periodic reinforcement of these skills is
  mandatory
• - Keep skilled planners/operators in related
  jobs
• - Train the Way You Fight
• - Use the same configuration in training that
  you will under wartime conditions

23
Effectiveness and Efficiency

• Host Nation Approvals (HNA)
• DoD SATCOM Access/Authorizations
• COCOM User Validation
• Commercial SATCOM Procurement
• SATCOM Database (SDB)

Commercial SATCOM _at_ DISA

• Our Mandate
• DISA is the Department of Defenses only
  authorized service provider for fixed and mobile
  satellite services
• Commander, USSTRATCOM designated DISA as the
  Commercial Satellite System Expert (SSE) for
  fixed and mobile satellite services

• ASD, NII Policy for Planning, Acquisition, and
  Management of Commercial Satellite communications
  Fixed Satellite Services, dated 14 Dec 2004
• ASD, NII DoD Policy for procuring Mobile
  Satellite Services, dated 29 August 2001
• CJCSI 6250.01B

28
SDB Overview

• Initiated / Owned / Validated by Joint Staff
  (CJCSI 6250.01B) through the Joint SATCOM Panel
  (JSP)
• Maintained by DISA through the JSPA (Joint SATCOM
  Panel Administrator)
• JSP-approved requirement does not guarantee
  access
• Foundation for Scenario Development and other
  analyses
• Available to DOD SATCOM users, planners,
  managers, and analysts world-wide

29
SDB Process Highlights

• Users submit requirements through
  COCOMs/Services/Agencies
• Requirements entered into the SDB Management Tool
• DISA System Engineer for SATCOM (SES) decides if
  SATCOM is required
• 4) USSTRATCOM Strategic SATCOM Managers and SSEs
  provide Technical Assessments
• 5) The JSPA prepares requirements for JSP review
  
• 6) The JSP votes Approve, Disapprove, or Hold
  in Abeyance
• 7) SDB is updated/posted with JSP results users
  may view through SDB Management Tool

SDB Effectiveness and Efficiency

• SDB Process - Recent Changes
• Capturing IP characteristics
• TMS-C is now the SDB Management Tool
• Automated Tool
• Greater ease of use
• Recommended changes will be considered by the
  JSPA
• CJCSI 6250-01B is being updated to CJCSI 6250.01C
  
• Modifies SATCOM priorities
• Increased emphasis on Network-Centric
  Communications Capabilities
