MUOS Satellite to Provide Military with 3G Communications

This weekend, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station launched an unmanned Atlas 5 rocket as in an effort to provide 3G communication to soldiers in the field. The satellite is the first in a new military network.

The rocket used to drop the Mobile User Objective System satellite into Earth’s orbit is the most powerful in the U.S. inventory, reaching 191 feet in height. Called the MUOS-1, the satellite is one of five in the network, which operates in a way similar to cellphone towers. The system will boost communication ability for the U.S. military and its partnering countries. The communication capacity will now include UHF satellite communications for cellphone users.

“Right now, our units have to be sitting in one place, stationary, with antenna up pointing straight at a satellite to be able to use narrow-band sitcom (satellite communications),” said Paul Ghyzel, program manager. “As we bring MUOS online, we bring up the capability that allows them to move around the battle space and be able to continue communicating beyond the line-of-sight.”

MUOS program manager and VP Mark Pasquale explained that the system is “basically like a cellphone tower in the sky.” He added, “You can think of the handheld user terminals as robust, rugged smartphones.”
