- Description
- The Global Broadcast Service (GBS) provides worldwide, high capacity, one-way transmission of video, imagery and other information supporting deployed forces in transit and in an Area of Operation (AOR). It employs readily available satellite-based broadcast commercial technologies which are relative inexpensive and easily integrated into existing systems and processes, yet not so unwieldy as to be unusable by smaller and more mobile units. To this end, GBS currently uses broadcast payloads on three Ultra-High Frequency Follow-On (UFO) satellites and two leased commercial operated geosynchronous satellites transponders. A Theater Injection Point (TIP) terminal provides a deployable Ka-band uplink capability that can operate directly from a Combatant Commander?s (COCOM?s) AOR.
