Satellite communications (SATCOM) is becoming the essential Navy link. There are many topside SATCOM problems including physical size, weight, blockage, cost, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) between the many shipboard electronic systems. A previous study provided a brief overview of Allied use of MILSATCOM and trends in shipboard terminals. In this study, the work is carried further. First, parameters and features needed by the Navy are outlined. Then the features of a variety of military and commercial SATCOM systems that could satisfy these needs are provided. A brief overview of shipboard terminals is provided. Finally, a road map for future research and development for shipboard antennas is given, and consisted of two directions.
