PRIORITY CONFLICTS AND MULTIPLE HOPPING IN RANDOM SATELLITE COVERAGE.

Abstract

At present levels of satellite population (17 or 25) of the random military communications satellite system, the imposition of a priority system on one competing communications link by another reduces the effective satellite population by three to four satellites for the second priority communications link. The present fair communications link availability for multiple hopping from the farside of the earth with the present satellite population and ground terminals can be improved by an alternate route running in the other direction around the earth.
