5Lessons Learned
- Operations Desert Shield/Desert Storm
- Need higher data rates and greatercapacity
satellite communications - Operation Enduring Freedom
- Need highly mobile, interoperablecoalition
communications - Operation Iraqi Freedom
- Need all-weather, all-environment communications
- Sandstorm disrupted other satellite
communications for three days due to dust
attenuation - Need embedded mobile communications at unit-level
- Thunder Run to Baghdad Airport
- Outran communications capability resulting in
Blue on Blue engagements
