6. What is the Future for Broadband
Tactical Satellite Communications?
PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP HOSTED BY COBHAM | 26TH NOVEMBER 2012
Workshop Overview
In Association With
Satellite links provide a key capability widely used by military
commanders for tactical communications. UHF and L-Band
systems are in widespread use; however, the adoption of higher
frequency, higher data rate, systems has been “the next big thing”
for a number of years and, for land systems, reality has never quite
matched expectations. This workshop will explore the key technical
and commercial enablers and challenges that affect the success of
higher frequency broadband tactical services. Bringing in
perspectives from satellite operators, service providers and
equipment suppliers, the workshop will explore these challenges in
the context of the current pressures on defence spending and look
at the prospects for broadband tactical satellite communications
over the next decade.
Who Should Attend?
The workshop is aimed at those involved in the design, specification,
AGENDA
procurement, installation and use of tactical SatCom systems.
Delegates will gain a broad understanding of the challenges facing 13.00

systems, helping them to understand the key elements of
successful systems, and to get an industry-wide perspective on the
prospects for their use and deployment in the future. 13.30

The Venue
EVENT SUPPORTED BY
Global MilSatCom: It’s Value
“Global MilSatCom is unique in my experience in that it provides
a forum which is truly international; no single country
dominates the conference. Presentations are
made from national militaries and commercial firms from every continent.
One is able to gain a sense of the challenges which are common; the various solutions being innovated and
adopted; and the convergences in many cases which exist between these diverse solutions. It also offers an
intimacy that is not available in most conferences—there is always the opportunity to reconnect with friends and
colleagues begin to establish new friendships with fellow SATCOM professionals.”
What have past attendees said about Global MilSatCom?
Pat Rayermann, Senior Director, Strategy & Development, Orbital Sciences Corporation, Colonel, US Army (Rtd)
“Great job! Keep it up!” MoD Nigeria
“One of the most worthwhile events in Europe” NATO JAPCC
“Global MilSatCom is the conference and exhibition which gave me the most valuable knowledge” Luxembourg Army
“All presentations were of a high standard
satnews
and excellent variety” E2V
publishers
“Good conference with lots of professional
and informed speakers” South African National Defence Force
