Agenda

• Bottom Line
• Strategic Framework
• SATCOM Database (SDB)/Joint SATCOM Panel (JSP)

3
Bottom Line

• SATCOM is a high demand, low density resource
• Requirements exceed availability for foreseeable
  future
• Commercial SATCOM is part of DOD communication
  systems architecture and a crucial enabler of
  warfighting operations worldwide

4
Strategic Management Framework

• Improve the acquisition of commercial bandwidth
  leveraging commercial best practices to meet DOD
  requirements
• Inventory current and potential users of
  commercial bandwidth to determine existing and
  long-term requirements

5
SATCOM Data Base Overview

• Initiated / Owned / Validated by Joint Staff
  (CJCSI 6250.01B) through the Joint SATCOM Panel
  (JSP)
• Maintained by DISA through the JSPA (Joint SATCOM
  Panel Administrator)
• JSP-approved requirement does not guarantee
  access
• Foundation for Scenario Development and other
  analyses
• Available to DOD SATCOM users, planners,
  managers, and analysts world-wide

Meeting SATCOM Requirements
Process Highlights

• Users submit requirements through chain of
  command to
• JCDSC (Joint C4I Decision Support Center)
• 2) The JCDSC enters requirements into SDB
• 3) SOMs and SSEs provide Technical Assessments
• 4) The JSPA prepares requirements for JSP review
  
• 5) The JSP votes Approve, Disapprove, or Hold in
  Abeyance
• 6) SDB is updated/posted with JSP results users
  may view
• through TMS-C (soon to be SDB Management Tool)
