Description
Summary:The benefits, indeed the necessity of space systems to military operations have increased considerably in the past few years. Military communications satellites such as the NATO and SKYNET series as well as the US COMSATS have demonstrated their effectiveness as elements of military command and control systems. The various weather satellites are providing more accurate and timely weather forecasting and have become important to all military operations. The 18 satellite-Global Positioning System may revolutionize weapon systems navigation guidance over the next decade. New remote sensing systems, such as the space based radar and other systems, are in study on various stages of development. While the importance of space systems is becoming better appreciated by the leaders in the R & D community and by the military leaders in the NATO countries, the full potential of these systems has not been realized. The intent of this symposium was to bring into focus and to characterize the attributes of space systems which contribute to the effectiveness of tactical military operations. Summary in English and French.
