Military Satellite Communications: Opportunity to Save Billions of Dollars

Subject
Summary:

The Pentagon's plan to save billions of dollars by taking advantage of modern technology in building its military satellites has failed to materialize. The Defense Department (DOD) still lacks a coordinated process for incorporating the latest technology into its military satellite communications. Unless such a process is established, DOD may end up continuing to acquire costly, customized military satellites. DOD developed alternative satellite architecture that relied on common bus designs--standard satellite platforms capable of carrying various payloads. It was estimated that these buses would cut long-term costs substantially. DOD ultimately shelved all of the alternatives, despite the fact that one of the common bus designs proved to have many technological advantages and a lower price tag.
