摘要

There is little question that space systems have transformed military oper-rations. The establishment of GPS as a global utility, the easy and ubiquitous access to satellite communication and imagery and the expansion of broadband services to mobile platforms have fundamentally altered the role that information plays in military decision-making. Satellites are a logical extension of Gen. Omar Bradley"s prescient observation: "A piece of paper makes you an officer; a radio makes you a commander." Unquestionably, the U.S. government has benefited from the rapid development of satellite-dominated information services. But military advantage is fleeting and potential adversaries are now investing considerable effort to duplicate the technology. Today, commercial satellites provide the vast majority of bandwidth to soldiers in the field. Yet as U.S. attention turns to the issue of potential vulnerabilities, some have argued that only protected military satellites should be trusted to provide essential government services. One senior aerospace executive recently went so far as to label commercial satellites "the Achilles heel" of military communications.
