17. Medium data rates are considered above 2.4kbs to 1.544Mbs. The Milstar and UFO-follow-on satellite systems have EHF antijam systems that will provide the tactical & strategic commanders with assured communications. However, part of Milstar is designed specifically for the tactical commander and is the only satellite that can provide EHF antijam medium data rates above 2.4kbps up through to 1.545Mbs (Tl-rate). Other systems such as DSCS and the UHF systems cannot assure large anti-jam capacities at the anticipated loading. It should be noted that DSCS is capable of high data rates in a benign, nonjamming environment.
18. Telephone Conversation with LTC Primo, The Joint Chiefs of Staff (J6S), Washington, DC, 25 January 1995. According to LTC Primo, demand will continue to exceed capacity; satellite data requirements are growing exponentially. In a recent study data rates for emerging requirements have approached SGbs in comparison to today's satellite capacity potential of l.5Gbs. It should be noted that potential satellite capacity assumes perfect and optimum link closures using large strategic dishes (60'). The use of tactical or "disadvantaged" smaller dishes (with 8' or smaller dishes) significantly reduces the capacity available to the user.

21. An example of shipping complex electronic equipment back to the depot for repair is the Precise, Lightweight GPS Receiver (PLGR). Units are shipped back to the manufacturer under a military procured warranty program. No repairs are attempted in the field. This method does insure first class repair, but it temporarily removes the receiver out of the hands of the user unless a logistics "float" is available within the unit.
