Abstract

Over the next seven years the Air Force Satellite Control Network (AFSCN) will upgrade its communications system to provide enhanced performance with significant operations and maintenance savings. Significant savings in terms of personnel reductions will result from centralizing control and monitoring of the communications subsystems along with automating many of the functions. Greater use of COTS equipment and reducing the variety of equipment will provide maintenance savings. The global grid that Defense Information Services Agency (DISA) and the commercial carriers are moving towards will allow the network to support high data rate users at lower costs because of the ability to pay only for the bandwidth needed.
