TacSat-4 is focused on enabling several advanced communications capabilities such as COTM, dynamic world-wide theater access, the ability to use frequencies (up and down) over a broad spectrum, enhancement of Friendly Force Tracking and other data ex-filtration, and support for poorly covered areas of the world. By design, TacSat-4 capabilities augment traditional geosynchronous SATCOM well, in addition to simply providing more communication transponders. A constellation of three or four such satellites can provide 24- hour coverage in multiple theaters throughout the world. The TacSat-4 capabilities provide near term SATCOM augmentation as well as long term SATCOM acquisition considerations about architecture and future capabilities.
