Orbiting Innovation: Satellite Communication and the Space Force Connection (Ep. 25)
In this episode of Technically Speaking, co-hosts Chelsie Holloway and Alex Jackson explore the important collaboration and uses of satellites shared by NIWC Atlantic and the U.S. Space Force!
The Mobile User Objective System (MUOS), is a revolutionary DoD satellite constellation that transforms 3G cellular technology into a secure, narrowband communication platform for all military branches. Paul Strazdus, a lead ground engineer at NIWC Atlantic, explains how MUOS enables voice and data communication in challenging environments, from dense jungles to urban terrain, ensuring tactical users stay connected on the move.
We also hear from Chief Elijah Ford during our “Military Moment,” sharing insights on the critical integration of military and civilian processes and how administrative support enhances mission readiness.
From geosynchronous satellites to collaboration with the Space Force, this episode highlights the innovative work at NIWC Atlantic in advancing information warfare solutions. Tune in to learn how we’re connecting warfighters from seabed to space!
