"Military satellite systems are key enablers for US information superiority and net- centricity. To achieve optimal satellite communications, you need to leverage current satellite capabilities for next generation satellite networks. 2010 is the year when several new MILSATCOM initiatives are set to be developed and deployed. IDGA’s Fourth Annual Military Satellites Summit will focus on the policy, requirements and acquisition needed to enable future opportunities for partnerships for next-generation satellite communications systems. At this event, you have the opportunity to gain knowledge of the following critical issues: Current generation satellite requirements vs. next generation satellite networks Closing the gap between project requirements and resources Upgrade and integration of communications assets "
