Satellite Industry Trends• After a few difficult years, the satellite industry has

begun to rebound.– New technologies are being funded – New applications are driving services demand – New markets are opening worldwide as regulations

change

• The key factors are:– Consumer demand – especially video– Government demand and investment in technology– Financial market interest and investment in both existing

and new businesses– Consolidation and rationalization of capacity

• These factors flow through the industry as new user solutions drive demand for more innovative satellites.

Satellite Industry Response to Katrina

11

Satellite Is Part of the Solution

• First Responders and Public Safety need a non-terrestrial back-up communications infrastructure that is;– Independent of the Public Infrastructure– Pre-positioned– Included in First Responder Training Programs

• The Department of Homeland Security is currently examining a range of emergency communication proposals, including proposals to ensure interoperability. Satellite systems should be emphasized and included in the early planning of these initiatives.

• The required capacity and equipment is available today from commercial satellite operators to corporations, first responders, and consumers across the globe.

12

Recommendations

• Satellites must be included in emergency response communications to ensure redundancy.

• Satellite capacity and equipment must be pre-purchased and pre-positioned.

• Satellite operators and personnel must be credentialed as first responders.

• Satellite must be included in education and training programs for first responders.

What the DoD Wants

• Information sharing and analysis• Open dialogue on vulnerability, protection and operational issues

• Terrestrial physical security• Site backup, protection posture and contingency plans

• Personnel security• Background investigations and access controls

• Cyber/Network security• Detect and respond to intrusions; guarantee secure connectivity

• TT&C information assurance• Encrypted connectivity

• Space situational awareness• System baseline, location, TT&C and mission status

• RFI incident management• Timely detection, notification, characterization and response

What We Want:Long Term Relationship

Version 3.0

23

Operationally Responsive Space

• The goals of ORS to produce satellites that are less costly, at a faster rate, and in greater numbers; and provide niche capabilities, new technologies, and surge capacity; are not restricted to just small satellites and quick launch technologies.

• The DoD, industry, and Congress should embrace the operationally responsive space movement as an obvious next step toward transformation.

• Next step that includes, not only small satellites and cheap launch vehicles, but also encourages; • Shared Payloads/Hosted Payloads• Multiyear Commercial Transponder Leases• Pre-Positioned Capacity and Transponder Portability • Repositionable Spot Beams and/or Satellites

US National Space PolicyReleased August 31, 2006

25

National COMSATCOM Policy Needed• To maintain and expand our capabilities, we recommend

that the US Government develop a national commercial satellite communications policy that:– Relies to the maximum extent possible, on commercial

satellite systems to meet the unclassified, non-sensitive communications needs of the US Government;

– Maintains robust satellite technology development programs, such as the Transformational Communication Architecture and Operationally Responsive Space programs;

– Takes maximum advantage of the flexibility of current procurements laws which allow multiyear procurement and the aggregation of government demand to build long-term stable relationships with the commercial industry;

– Improves current satellite export control regime;– Maintains a strong national technological leadership

through sponsorship of satellite education programs, career opportunities, and the education of key Government personnel;

– Preserves and protects satellite spectrum from harmful interference;
