Air force has selected TRW Systems to develop the joint navy/air force fleet satcom communications satellite system, which is intended ultimately to serve as a worldwide ultra-high-frequency communications link among naval aircraft, ships, submarines and ground installations. Launch of the first fleet satcom is planned for 1975/76. The high capacity, spaceborne communications system will give the navy both shore-to-fleet single-way communications and two way communications among ships, aircraft and submarines separated by distances exceeding UHF line-of-sight ranges.
