Logistics Command and Control (C2) in Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO): Logistics C2 Platforms Need Persistent Satellite Internet

Abstract

Marines conducting EABO in austere locations need high-bandwidth, low-latency, low earth orbit (LEO) constellation satellite internet to immediately request and transact logistics support using logistics C2 platforms. While military SATCOM has been available for over two decades, it was scarce due to the technological limitations of the time. The newest SATCOM project is widely available low earth orbit constellation satellite internet that can provide persistent, high bandwidth low latency internet anywhere on earth, including EABs with no infrastructure. LEO constellation satellite internet should be the Marine Corps solution to the otherwise impossible use of its logistics C2 platforms in EABO.
