Bandwidth Management
- Due to scarce MILSATCOM resources, Bandwidth Management is a necessity
- New CJCSI 6250.01 (replaced MOP 37) provides guidance on the management of DoD SATCOM resources
- CinCs, Services, Agencies submit requirements - JCS approves
- Instruction provides a SATCOM access process and prioritization scheme
- Based on priorities, JCS allocates resources to CinCs, Services, and Agencies
- USSPACECOM, as the SATCOM Systems Operation Manager, manages these resources for the users on a day to day basis
- Managed resources include:
- UHF
- EHF
