MILSATCOM TERMINAL TECHNOLOGY AND SATELLITE GROUND CONTROL TECHNOLOGY SEMINAR POC William Fizell, PMW 139, 703-602-2644. Synopsis No. 35. Introduction: The Milstar Joint Terminal Program Office (JTPO) and the MILSATCOM Joint Program Office (MJPO) announce the 1996 MILSATCOM Terminal Technology and Ground Control Technology Seminar. The purpose of the seminar is threefold: 1.) To provide a unique opportunity for the SATCOM development community, both Industry and Government, to discuss advanced concepts and ongoing terminal and ground control technology development. 2.) To provide a forum for the MJPO to brief the MILSATCOM Technology Program status and receive Industry comments. 3.) For Government and Industry to exchange information on terminal and ground control technology development status to assist the MJPO's MILSATCOM Technology Program and provide input to the 2010 SATCOM architecture. Seminar: The seminar will be held 21 through 23 May 1996 in McLean, VA, at the BoozzAllen & Hamilton Auditorium, starting at 8:00 AM with a keynote address presented by Maj Gen Robert S. Dickman, DoD Space Architect. The scope of the seminar encompasses those technologies which are applicable to the terminal and ground control segments of future MILSATCOM systems. Presentations and discussions should address terminal and ground control technologies (UHF, SHF, GBS, EHF, and commercial frequencies) feasible for implementation in 1996 or later. Government presentations will include MILSATCOM requirements and the MILSATCOM Technology Program Status. A Request-for-Information (RFI) package provides instructions for registering for the seminar.
