The report, which is the result of the work from one of the working groups of LUST, describes the capabilities of reconnaissance satellites, what support can be obtained from reconnaissance satellites in the future and the possibilities of procuring Swedish military reconnaissance satellites. In the report some new ideas on reconnaissance systems and methods which ought to be possible to realize before the year 2020 are presented. Satellite reconnaissance is better suited for strategic reconnaissance than for tactical reconnaissance and for international operations can reconnaissance data from satellites give very valuable information, which can not be obtained from other reconnaissance sources. How reconnaissance satellites best are used depends, however, on several factors. Optical reconnaissance, radar reconnaissance and SIGINT are because of their different characters difficult to compare. There is no standpoint taken in question on whether Sweden ought to procure its own military satellite reconnaissance capability, and in that case what type of reconnaissance sensors that should be used since it is up to the user of reconnaissance data to decide on these matters. However, interesting satellite concepts emerged which are judged to be worthy of more profound studies. These are laser reconnaissance satellite, GEO satellites for COMINT, clusters of satellites in LEO for geolocalization of emitters and satellites for multistatic radar concepts.
