Satellite Communications: Strategic Approach Needed for DOD's Procurement of Commercial Satellite Bandwidth
Overview DOD recognizes it has an increasing need to supplement its own satellite bandwidth capacity with capacity from the commercial sector. But it does not have a firm idea on how much bandwidth it will require in the short or long term or whether the private sector can even continue to support its requirements. Moreover, though it has become the largest consumer of satellite bandwidth, it still buys its bandwidth on an as-needed basis, thereby missing significant opportunities to leverage its buying power and to achieve considerable savings as a result.
