... Augmenting these initiatives with the potential of commercial satellite service and flexible and controlled routing of data in a standard format over the projected alternate communications paths will make it possible to support the projected need. This rich interconnect with available satellite resources will result in an adaptable global communications network.

... With flexible relay of imagery data from cruise missiles or UAVs as provided in the goal architecture, prompt assessment and decisions to restrike can be taken -- perhaps during the execution of the original strike with the possibility of vectoring returning aircraft with unused munitions to re-attack the selected target. The NAVSATCOM-21 also provides for integration of GPS on the cruise missile platform, providing for BDA information by relaying attack missile profile and pre66

... The source of imagery includes the terminal guidance sensor of precision guided munitions or UAVs with specially designed payloads that penetrate deeply into defended territory. The current reconnaissance systems include specially configured aircraft in addition to national systems.

... It is the best way to teach, and the best way to conduct human interaction, absent face-to-face meetings. NAVSATCOM-21 provides sufficient data rates to conduct video teleconferencing (VTC)

... 5.7 IMPROVED LOW PROBABILITY OF INTERCEPT/ANTLJAM NAVSATCOM-21, based on expanded data rates and higher frequencies, favors significant improvement in communication operations for LPI/LPD and communications survivability against jamming and nuclear environments. LPI/LPD results from allowing very little energy to be received by detection sources outside the direction of the intended signal.

... It supports far greater capability in naval strike missions, either alone or as part of a joint force, and at the same time it provides for survivable and protected information exchange, including rapid access to independent databases for battlefield awareness and much improved command conferencing. The expanded capabilities provided by the goal architecture also support a commensurate increased level of peacetime training.
