| Summary: | International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 09-11, 1973 / Sheraton Inn Northeast, Washington, D.C. === The Fleet Satellite Communication System (FLEETSATCOM) now under
development will provide the first U. S. military satellites designed from the start as
operational transponders for tactical communications with and among mobile users.
FLEETSATCOM is a logical outgrowth of earlier experimental projects, principally the
Tactical Satellite Communication (TACSATCOM) project of the late 1960’s. When the
globe-girdling system goes operational in calendar year 1976 it will quite literally
revolutionize both Air Force and Navy tactical communications by providing availability
and reliability of over-the-horizon communications that can never be matched by
conventional high-frequency circuits. |
