The study team evaluated the effectiveness of commercial wideband satellites across several characteristics defined by the United States Space Command. Air Force investments in new communications satellites. The team found that there is a large projected gap between the military demad for communications and the capability expected from present, planned, and programmed systems.. the cost of buying or leasing commercial systems is then compared with the cost of buying military systems with commercial characteristics.
