美军军事通信卫星现状及未来发展思路分析

The Status and Future Development Idea of US Military Satellite Communication

卫星通信由于其通信容量大、通信距离远、覆盖面积大、机动性好等优点,是未来战争中一种不可或缺的传输手段,也是赢得战争主动权的重要保证。以美国为代表的世界军事强国经过多年的发展,已经构建了较为完备的军事卫星通信系统。但美军认为其当前卫星通信系统仍不足以满足10年后作战需求,于是出台了一系列计划和项目,试图打造面向更长远未来的军事卫星通信体系。在分析介绍美军新一代卫星通信系统现状和几个未来发展计划的基础上,归纳总结了美军未来军事卫星通信发展思路,即卫星系统弹性抗毁,利用分散体系,更广泛使用商用卫星等。

Satellite communication （ SATCOM） ,with such advantages as high capacity,long range and large coverage,has beenan essential communication method in warfare,especially for future network centric warfare. The US Department of Defense （DoD） has the most complete satellite communication architecture in the world,but don？t think the architecture can meet the military requirements in post next ten years. Recently, US DoD has issued a series of development programs for satellite communication, to constitute a SATCOM architecture for the post-2025. This paper introduces the status of and some important development programs for US military SATCOM,and finally,on the basis of analysis,summarizes US military satellite communication development idea.
