Originally conceived and designed in the late 1970's, the DSCS 3 Communications System was primarily oriented toward long haul, point-to-point service for strategic users who desired a high degree of antijam capability combined with physical survivability. The satellite portion of the system was designed under the auspices of the United States Air Force Space Systems Division. Overall responsibility for the DSCS system rests with the Defense Communications Agency (DCA), which has developed much of the tactical philosophy discussed in subsequent paragraphs. Although primarily conceived as a strategic support system, a significant portion of the total resource was allocated to tactical uses. In subsequent paragraphs, some of the tactical concepts that evolved for the present design, as well as some new ideas concerning possible tactical uses for the system, will be described.
