Abstract
This paper introduces modern projects and solutions of space systems for military and civilian Communication, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) at sea, on the ground and in the air. Deploying new CNS technologies and techniques, military mobile assets, such as ships, land vehicles and aircrafts, including their personnel, will be connected, controlled and managed in more tactical, reliable and safe ways. The new satellite communication and navigation transponders onboard Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellites will able to provide connection and control of all military vehicles and personnel, enhance traffic control and management, improve safety and security of movements, and augment collision avoidance, especially for navy and air forces assets. The integrated CNS components for military applications described in this paper are solutions that provide reliable Mobile Satellite Communications (MSC), Digital Video Broadcasting-Return Channel via Satellite (DVB-RCS) and augmentation of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). Separately, modern satellite CNS applications for the navy, ground and air forces with their technical concepts and advantages are discussed.
