Congratulations Michael, but what does this mean, RE: new age?
It's a brand new global military satcom constellation.

3G Cellular like multimedia links over satcom without the portable terminals for the warfighter on the ground. Mobile links will still use portable terminals. The increased capacity is through the bandwidth made possible by the frequencies used and the waveform structure. It also has legacy payloads to transition from the original UFO constellation.

My GD group designed, built and tested the main Earth Station Terminals (18M antennas) along with the associated RF equipment. Sister groups in Texas provided the antenna drive system and the equipment monitoring system. We just finished up our third site and have one left. I've been on the program 100% since we were awarded our contract in early 2005. LM is the prime and my parent GD company (technically my customer) has the whole ground transport segment.
