Milstar Satellite Comm System

Global surviving and enduring military communications system they called it Milstar satellite
Milstar is a joint service satellite connections system that provides universal protected, jam resistant and low possibility of discovery nuclear-event resistant connections for all forces across the spectrum of conflict.
Milstar is a multi-satellite constellation will link control authorities with a wide selection of resources, including ships, submarines, aircraft, land vehicles and manned-portable systems.
Milstar is the most superior military connections satellite system to date and represents the future of the U.S. relations capability. The operational Milstar satellite constellation will consist of four satellites positioned around the Earth in geosynchronous orbits. Each mid-latitude satellite weighs approximately 10,000 pounds (4,536 kilograms) and has a design life of 10 years.
Each Milstar satellite serves as a neat switchboard in space by direct traffic from workstation to terminal anywhere on the Earth. Since the satellite actually processes the communications signal and can connection with other Milstar satellites through crosslink’s, the requirement for ground controlled switching is significantly reduced. The satellite establishes, maintains, reconfigures and disassembles required communications circuits as directed by the users. Milstar terminal provide encrypted voice, data, teletype or exact copy communications. A key goal of Milstar is to give interoperable communications among the users of Army, Navy, and Air Force Milstar terminals.
Geographically dispersed portable and fixed control stations give survivable and durable prepared command and direct for the Milstar constellation.
