The objective of this effort is to create a contract vehicle that provides the United States military and other partners access to worldwide commercial satellite communication (COMSATCOM) services based on satellites in any form of geosynchronous (GEO) orbit and featuring both readily available and traditionally scarce satellite transmission bands; spacecraft supporting such services while also providing unconventional resilience due to the maneuverability and number of dispersed satellites involved; and other commercial satellite services that may support or benefit from being hosted on such satellites, operating worldwide, regionally, and on orbit. This combination of maneuverability using decentralized, spatially dispersed small and medium satellites increases the resilience of both the service overall and, in the case of COMSATCOM services, the signal for any particular user while employing existing user equipment and gateways.
