Description (U):
(U) The UHF Next Generation Satellite supports the DoD Space Architect's MILSATCOM Architecture goal of providing adequate communications capabilities to enable battlefield dominance and information superiority. The transition strategy from today's UHF system to the future is to sustain the current UHF capabilities in the UHF Follow-On (UFO) satellites through a transition period, nominally until 2010, and decide in the 2003 to 2005 timeframe on the preferred approach to provide netted mobile and hand-held voice paging, and Low Data Rate (LDR) broadcast services. Several alternatives are under consideration for this future capability include a geosynchronous UHF-cellular system, a MEO UHF-cellular, and a GEO UHF with a non-space complement such as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with a communications payload.
