... The panel recommends that these requirements be incorporated into future Navy satellite communications requirements documentation. The study reviewed current and planned military, civil, and commercial satellite communications capabilities, and the panel concludes that selected combinations of these systems (using existing technology)

... tactical networks should provide connectivity among selected platforms and command nodes utilizing satellite communications relay, as appropriate, and these should interface directly to shipboard local area networks. The architecture should permit dynamic network management and control, and rapid configuration.

... and timing synchronization, and recommends its full integration into these nodes as soon as possible. Finally, the panel concludes that a robust satellite communications capability, as highlighted by the NAVSATCOM-21 architecture, could have a significant impact on the effectiveness of all expanded Naval Expeditionary Force missions, especially precision strike
