Geographic-Based Satellite Anti-Jam Strategies

Abstract

The cancellation of the transformational Satellite (TSAT) program has created interest in commercial satellite use for military purposes. A key requirement difference between these two is the need for anti-jam (AJ) protection in military systems. Many features of present and near future commercial satellite systems can make them inherently jam resistant. One is their high data rate/bandwidth which can allow frequency spreading to mitigate jamming effects. Additionally the use of narrow and focused beam antennas make it difficult for jamming power to enter the receiver. However, we will continue to use certain commercial satellite systems today and in the future that do not offer these AJ benefits and for which we dont have a solution to the jamming threat. This study investigates geographic-based AJ strategies as opposed to waveform design that could be used with these commercial systems.
