Abstract

The article offers updates on the Wideband Global Satcom (WGS) satellite, which has been in orbit over the Pacific Ocean for a year. It provides the same amount of high-bandwidth capacity as the entire Defense Satellite Communications System (DSCS) that WGS is beginning to replace. The WGS network is used by all the military services and is based on Boeing's workhorse 702 commercial satellite and it has features that allow operators to detect the presence of jamming or other interferences.
