Enterprise Satellite Communications Management and Control to Enhance DoD Operations for the Future

This webinar has been cancelled.

About

The U.S. DoD is implementing the DoD CIO’s Fulcrum and Digital Modernization Strategies to establish resilient architectures, including for DoD satellite communications (SATCOM). This SATCOM modernization requires Enterprise Satellite Communications Management and Control (ESC-MC). This software-based capability will enable users to access core enterprise capabilities and increase the flexibility, agility, and resiliency of DoD SATCOM by enabling more effective integration of the various DoD, allied military and commercial systems which together comprise the DoD SATCOM Enterprise. This webinar will explain progress that the DoD and industry are making to foster the U.S. military’s pivot to the future.

1. What is Enterprise Satellite Communications Management and Control?
2. What impact will it have on DoD operations?
3. What software services are necessary so planners, managers and users of SATCOM can become more agile in accessing the broad range of SATCOM capabilities available today (DoD assets, commercial assets and allied assets)?
4. How has Enterprise Satellite Communications Management and Control implementation encouraged greater collaboration between the DoD and commercial providers?
5. How is this collaboration effort spurring quicker adoption of innovation so new technology and techniques can reach the warfighter as they become available?
