The Army's Vision for Space and Satellite Communications

During the Association of the U.S. Army's annual AUSA conference and exhibition, the conference featured a panel titled "Army Space Vision: Delivering Effects for Combat Ready Formations."

On the fourth and final episode of Season 5, we feature Colonel Pete Akinson's presentation and question and answer session from his participation in this panel. Atkinson is the Principal Space Advisor for the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command. He provides a basic overview of new space-focued personnel and technology deployments that the Army has been focused on this year.

Atkinson also provides a brief update on the first year of the Army's new SATCOM as a Managed Service (SATaaMS) project involving Intelsat and SES earlier this year.
