Steve Kitay of Microsoft Azure Space explains why the path to the cloud passes through space

#Government and #military #digitaltransformation initiatives have made #software and connectivity mission-critical for operations. Today's #cloudnativeapplications need to be available everywhere, not just at home, and satellite is the key to making that a reality. The Government Satellite Report recently sat down with Stephen Kitay of Microsoft's #Azure #Space to talk about the integration of #satellite and #cloud, and how #cloudservices delivered via #satellitecommunications could be revolutionary for the government and military. https://bddy.me/3DwkCaD

The past decade has witnessed a massive change in the role and importance of technology, applications, and network-enabled devices in the government. This digital transformation of the government is resulting in manual processes becoming automated, artificial intelligence (AI) being leveraged to del...

Near-peer no more? Is complacency costing the country its innovative edge?

Is the U.S. still a competitive force on the global stage? Former CSO of the U.S. Air Force and Space Force, Nicolas Chaillan, recently spoke at last month’s #Space Innovation Summit to discuss how complacency on the part of the U.S. government is giving America’s adversaries a competitive edge. https://bddy.me/3qrWZfE

Immense pride comes from the idea that the United States is a dominant force on the global stage, competing with and edging out near-peer adversaries in the race to space, and other arenas of competitive advantage, such as technology, education, economic, and warfighting capabilities. But when it co...

EM&C – opening the door to an integrated satellite architecture

Today's military owns a number of disparate, proprietary #satellite ground solutions with a lack of interoperability. This has thrown a wrench into the United States Department of Defense's desire to have a single, integrated satellite architecture that would enable seamless transition from #MILSATCOM to #COMSATCOM satellite services. The Government Satellite Report recently sat down with Frank Backes of Kratos Defense and Security Solutions to discuss how the enterprise management and control (EM&C) program can help solve that problem and position the DoD to take advantage of next-generation commercial satellite solutions. https://bit.ly/3mfYxaK #SATCOM #militarytechnology #space

Rapidly growing information requirements and the increasing unpredictability of the location, nature, and types of conflicts make satellite communications systems more important every day. Using commercial bandwidth to augment the military’s dedicated capabilities is essential to providing global ...

It’s time to bring deployed warfighters and Navy personnel a taste of home

Some of the basic conveniences of modern life that Americans take for granted would be extravagant luxuries for the average US Navy sailor or deployed warfighter. In the latest post on the Government Satellite Report, they explore why investing in #connectivity is essential for the United States Department of Defense, how the #COVID19 #pandemic magnified the disparities between home and abroad, and why #military readiness relies on giving warfighters a taste of home. https://bit.ly/3bkQMKc #govIT #satellite #SATCOM

In March of 2020 our entire world screeched to a halt as the COVID-19 pandemic made its way to our country and began to spread. In the year that followed, Americans had to sacrifice so many things. They were asked to stay inside with their families and only leave for supplies and emergencies. Non-es...

More Terminal Options Reduce Barriers into Military SATCOM Frequencies

Military satellite #terminals have historically been cost-prohibitive for the #government. That is, until now. Philip Harlow explores how the proliferation of #military X-band and Ka-band coverage is making the cost of #satellite terminals tumble. https://hubs.ly/H0pMCG40 #space

When I first started working with military SATCOM frequencies back in the 1990s, one major problem was that ground terminals were expensive. We spent many hours working with manufacturers to try to bring those costs down in line with terminals that used commercial frequencies. Part of the challenge....
