DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE (DoD) SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS (SATCOM)

OPERATIONAL POLICY

1. Purpose. This Enclosure describes authorized use of DoD SATCOM resources and provides operational policies and goals for DoD SATCOM support.

2. Definitions and Categories

a. Satellite Communications (SATCOM). The use of satellites to provide beyond line of sight communications and networking services (including relay and amplification of data, messaging, video, and voice signals) to and from various points on or around the Earth.

b. Department of Defense (DoD) Satellite Communications (SATCOM).

DoD SATCOM comprises DoD owned and operated SATCOM resources, DoD owned SATCOM resources operated by non-DoD entities, SATCOM resources acquired by the DoD from commercial providers, and SATCOM resources allocated by the U.S. Government (e.g., federal, civil SATCOM resources), international partners, or allied partners for DoD use.

c. Military Satellite Communications (MILSATCOM). MILSATCOM includes those systems (space, control, and terminal ground segments) owned and operated by the DoD. It also includes Enterprise gateways (including DoD gateways) and Service gateways. MILSATCOM consists of three bands:

(1) Narrowband. Narrowband SATCOM is defined as current, planned, and future DoD-owned, leased, and hosted SATCOM assets operating in the ultrahigh frequency spectrum using legacy and Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) waveforms. Non-processed resources are used over transponded systems on ultra high frequency (UHF) Follow-on (UFO), Fleet Satellites, and Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) legacy. Resources are allocated via single access (dedicated), Demand Assigned Multiple Access (DAMA) time slots, and Integrated Waveform (IW) processed channels. Future narrowband requirements will also be satisfied over the MUOS WCDMA waveform. Narrowband provides reliable, secure, fixed-site and mobile data and voice communications less subject to adverse weather conditions, dense foliage, terrain masking, distance limitations, and interoperability problems.

(2) Wideband. Wideband SATCOM systems provide substantial worldwide capacity for high-quality voice, imagery, video, and data transport, operating in the C-, X-, Ku-, and Ka-bands. Resources in the X- and Ka-bands

A-2 Enclosure A are accessed over the Defense Satellite Communications System and Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) systems. Wideband offers protection capabilities, Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) detection, characterization, and mitigation;

configurable beams, and adjustable power levels for high quality voice, imagery, and data circuits. Wideband also supports the Global Broadcast Service (GBS). Wideband can be configured to operate in Frequency Division Multiple access (FDMA) or one of several Time Division Multiple access (TDMA) schemas. Future wideband capabilities will include the protected tactical waveform (PTW) capability, which will further enhance wideband protection.

Wideband SATCOM systems provide the primary transmission path for much of DoD’s highest-priority communications.

(3) Protected Band. Protected SATCOM systems have the capability to negate or mitigate the purposeful or inadvertent degradation, disruption, denial, unauthorized access, or exploitation attempts of SATCOM. Extremely high frequency (EHF) Ka-, Q-, and V-bands are accessed over Milstar, UFO/EHF (UFO/E), UFO/EHF Enhanced (UFO/EE) advanced extremely high frequency (AEHF), Interim Polar System (IPS), and Enhanced Polar System (EPS). Protected SATCOM systems provide the greatest level of protection for MILSATCOM over dispersed geographic areas while providing flexible support and protection such as low probability of intercept, low probability of detection, low probability of exploitation, anti-jam (AJ), and anti-scintillation. Protected SATCOM provides flexible support for the nuclear command, control, and communications (NC3) mission set, as well as critical Command and Control (C2) links for tactical users.

d. Commercial Satellite Communications (COMSATCOM). COMSATCOM encompasses DoD-leased or DoD-owned bandwidth in commercial bands, DoD-owned or leased commercial SATCOM terminals and Gateways landing DoD missions, and SATCOM used by the DoD but provided by commercial entities. COMSATCOM is categorized as:

(1) Fixed Satellite Services (FSS). Commercially provided radio-communication service between earth stations at given positions, when one or more satellites are used: given position may be specified fixed point or any fixed point within specified areas. Dedicated SATCOM bandwidth and power in any commercially available frequency band (e.g., L-, S-, C-, X-, Ku-, Ka-, and UHF).

(2) Mobile Satellite Services (MSS). Consist of commercially provided radio communication (e.g., Enhanced Mobile Satellite Services (EMSS)) between various mobile or fixed earth stations. MSS connectivity may consist of several mobile devices capable of voice, data, and telephone networks.

A-3 Enclosure A

3. Use of Department of Defense (DoD) Satellite Communications (SATCOM).

The DoD primarily uses DoD SATCOM for establishing or augmenting telecommunications in areas lacking suitable terrestrial infrastructure, for users requiring beyond line-of-sight connectivity, and for users requiring connectivity at the halt and on the move.

a. DoD SATCOM provides a transport medium for fixed and mobile voice, data, video, and imagery. DoD SATCOM also provides range extension capabilities for legacy circuits and key services and applications such as the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNET), the Unclassified but Sensitive Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPRNET), the Defense Switched Network, the Defense Red Switch Network, the Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System, and video teleconferencing. DoD SATCOM is essential for the intelligence and diplomatic communities to provide U.S.-controlled transmission means for a subset of communications supporting sensitive operations or time-critical diplomatic traffic supporting national security objectives.

b. DoD SATCOM is critical for the full range of DoD and Government agencies operations in support of the National Military Strategy, from humanitarian relief to homeland defense to major theater wars and nuclear conflict. Military forces depend on space-based communications systems to access essential information services in the execution of land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace operations.

c. DoD SATCOM systems provide communications that facilitate C2, access for authorized users, survivable communications for presidential support, nuclear C2, coalition, and allied operations and exercises, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) sensor collection data including imagery and full-motion video (FMV).

d. DoD SATCOM is also used by mobile, in-transit, and isolated forces.

Other additional users include those requiring communications links with low probability of detection, low probability of intercept, low probability of exploitation, protection from scintillation and jamming, and users who require secure communications links and/or operational privacy provided by U.S.

control.

e. Commercial Satellite Communications (COMSATCOM). DoD leased or procured COMSATCOM operating in commercial frequency bands, while subject to Federal Communications Commission regulations governing commercial spectrum operation, is considered part of DoD SATCOM and as such is afforded equivalent security protection in accordance with (IAW) reference a, Operational security, EMI protection, and resiliency features of COMSATCOM systems may not be equivalent to those of purpose-built

A-4 Enclosure A

MILSATCOM systems, and COMSATCOM users are required to certify acceptance of any associated risk.

4. Department of Defense (DoD) Satellite Communications (SATCOM) Operational Policies. The following DoD SATCOM policies are intended to ensure that relevant processes and organizational structures facilitate proactive, timely, synchronized, and sustainable management of limited, high-value interoperable resources and provides critical support to authorized users.

a. Operational Policies

(1) Resources must be provided to the highest-priority users in a prompt and effective manner. Enclosure D delineates DoD SATCOM allocation and restoration priorities and precedence, which are designed to maximize effective and efficient use of DoD SATCOM resources. Contention among competing requirements within the same priority will be resolved at the lowest possible level.

(2) Policies and procedures must ensure spectrum access, access that often requires EMI mitigation and resolution, SATCOM service restoration, and encourage efficient use and control of the communications bandwidth.

(3) System planning must leverage technological improvements, serve as the basis for replenishment of on-orbit assets, and assist in synchronizing the development and fielding of terminals, and system control elements to maximize interoperability and operational benefits for authorized users.

(4) Systems should be acquired and fielded under validated requirements IAW reference b and comply with reference c, concerning regulatory testing and certification required for information technology and spectrum dependent systems, including interoperability, spectrum, electromagnetic compatibility, cybersecurity, and applicable commercial engineering and design standards.

(5) Authorized users should have the necessary DoD SATCOM connectivity, resource visibility, tasking procedures, and planning tools. They should also employ DoD SATCOM in a flexible and responsive manner.

(6) The DoD SATCOM portion of the critical communications systems described in reference d must be capable of ensuring availability of service by being survivable, providing electro-magnetic pulse protection, and being scintillation resistant.

(7) DoD SATCOM operations must detect, determine and mitigate jamming, intrusion, and other adversary actions in order to support space control. DoD SATCOM systems must further incorporate methods and

A-5 Enclosure A operational practices to optimize space control capabilities and to assist in determining adversary actions against on-orbit communications assets.

(8) Organizational structures must be responsive to operational policy and consistent with the management responsibilities outlined in Enclosure B.

b. Space Capability. The ultimate objective of DoD SATCOM operational policy is to provide authorized users with DoD SATCOM space capabilities when and where they are needed IAW operational priorities and international agreements. The DoD must continually assess DoD SATCOM system effectiveness in pursuit of this objective. Consequently, full compliance with applicable Cybersecurity Policy for Space Systems requirements is required per references e through g).

5. Operational Goals. The processes for submitting user connectivity requirements, granting authorized use, providing system-of-systems operational management, and performing high-level oversight are central to providing authorized users with timely DoD SATCOM resources. Each process is developed based upon key DoD SATCOM operational goals:

a. Systems should be sized, deployed, and agile enough to meet current and future DoD SATCOM user requirements.

b. Capabilities should be managed, monitored, controlled, and integrated with SATCOM terminal and control segment capabilities to provide a comprehensive, seamless communications infrastructure that responds to change, resists disruption, and ensures availability of mission-critical information through all operational conditions.

c. Systems should be developed to leverage existing and planned transmission paths. In order to achieve this goal, standard operational policies and procedures must be implemented at the system-of-systems level.

d. DoD SATCOM managers and authorized users must have Situational Awareness (SA) and a Common Operating Picture (COP) into DoD SATCOM and related network resources in order to plan, implement, monitor, and sustain effective and efficient communications support to the authorized user.

e. Managers and users of DoD SATCOM must have efficient, responsive, and user-friendly automated tools and methods that account for the complexities of multiple DoD SATCOM resources. These resources may be operating in many different frequency bands and under various network constraints or conditions while supporting diverse missions worldwide. The tools and methods must also provide insight into threats or degradations that would remove or negate those resources.

A-6 Enclosure A

f. DoD SATCOM must implement advanced access techniques, advanced network management, machine-to-machine interconnection, and remote operational management features. Implementation with international partners must be considered during development.

g. SATCOM system planning and operation, like other transport paths, are susceptible to disruption. Therefore, architectural resilience factors including redundancy, diversity, protection features (such as AJ and cybersecurity techniques), and alternative communications media should be considered for mission-critical traffic, and plans should be coordinated among DoD SATCOM managers, planners, and users. Adaptive and deliberate planning and coordination will minimize the effect disruptions have on mission success during operations.

h. COMSATCOM resource planners must consider these operational goals to ensure that contract implementation and service quality meet defined requirements.

6. Operational Management. Operational management of DoD SATCOM refers to the oversight, authoritative direction, and control of resources to ensure accessibility and provides global DoD SATCOM resource situational awareness for authorized users. Fundamental elements of operational management include the following:

a. Performing DoD SATCOM allocation, International Partner exchanges, constellation reconfiguration, DoD SATCOM configuration management oversight, and integration management in support of operational requirements.

b. Providing visibility into DoD SATCOM resources (including mission partner SATCOM resources). This activity is necessary to determine the status and availability of resources for operational missions and is critical to effectively plan, monitor, manage, defend, and otherwise direct operations for all authorized users. National constraints may govern spectrum allocation or usage, frequency bands, orbital positions, and operations.

c. Ensuring DoD SATCOM delivery meets CCMD, Service, Agency, International Partner, and coalition operational requirements and strategic planning in order to support DoD SATCOM.

d. Ensuring adequate control of MILSATCOM. Including satellite control, control of resource allocation to authorized users, control of ground systems that directly affect access to MILSATCOM payloads and establishment of networks, positive control of terminals, and control of interfaces required to support DoD SATCOM.
