Is available?

Is relevant?

Do you need?

Do you want?



Information

• Start

• Videostreaming and conferencing• File distribution• Internet download and caching• Database updates

Multimedia deliveryover IP

Getting more out of the bandwidth: Secure Multicast

Result is : •same content to 1000’s of users• huge network inefficiencies and cost• capacity problems at central servers

Most content currentlydelivered individuallyto each user in order

to control security



Why multicast?

With IP Multicastingcontent is sent across the network once only

LogicaCMG’s Secure Multicast Platform• central control of access to services • end to end encryption of content• application and network independent• scalable to large subscriber groups



Secure multicast platform

• dynamic control of subscriber groups• group and subscriber level control• denial or approval of access

down to level of individuals• customer care and billing• web-based front end

User Management System



Navigation

• average number of munitions required to destroy a target:

– in the Gulf war (1991) ~10– in Kosovo ~5– in the Iraq war <2

• the difference was precision guided munitions using GPS

• Europe now building (officially non-military) system – Galileo

– UK roles:• prime for prototype satellite

(Surrey Satellite)• prime for payload (Astrium)• prime for ground segment design

(LogicaCMG)

GPS – 24 satellites give global coverage

Galileo – first satellite built in Guildfordto be launched December 2005



Location Based Services- satcom services tailored for user’s location



Meteorology

• knowledge of weather conditions crucial to successful military actions

• satellites provide the bulk of the data used in current forecasts

– mix of primarily WMO-coordinated civil, and USA military, satellites

• UK roles:– prime for Metop - Astrium

– MSG ground segment - various

– MTSAT (Japan) ground segment - LogicaCMG

Europe’s weather satellites: MSG geostationary (left)and Metop/EPS polar orbiting (right)

global network of geostationary & polar orbiting satellites



Closing Points

• Information Superiority or Information ‘Obesity’

• bandwidth is not a universal challenge

• satellite communications provide reach and increasing capability

• military satellite capability can/needs to be supplemented

• the advent of IP across the Battlespace will enable new services to be delivered

• the demand for information services will continue to increase and satellites, military and civil will be a key capability to enable future operations

• information management is a key challenge

• and will continue to be so – witness the USA’s next generation…
