MUOS-2 Mobile User Objective System DOD USAF CLASSIFIED SATELLITE Launch PATCH

Description

Authentic MUOS-2 Mobile User Objective System DOD USAF CLASSIFIED MILITARY SATELLITE PATCH
The Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) is an
Ultra High Frequency
(UHF) (300 MHz to 3 GHz frequency range) SATCOM system, primarily serving the DoD. The MUOS will replace the legacy
UHF Follow-On
(UFO) system before that system reaches its end of life to provide users with new capabilities and enhanced mobility, access, capacity, and quality of service. Intended primarily for mobile users (e.g. aerial and maritime platforms, ground vehicles, and dismounted soldiers), MUOS will extend users' voice, data, and video communications beyond their lines-of-sight.
The MUOS operates as a global cellular service provider to support the
war fighter
with modern
cell phone
-like capabilities, such as
multimedia
. It converts a commercial third generation (3G)
Wideband Code Division Multiple Access
(WCDMA) cellular phone system to a military UHF SATCOM radio system using
geosynchronous satellites
in place of
cell towers
. By operating in the UHF frequency band, a lower frequency band than that used by conventional terrestrial
cellular networks
, the MUOS provides warfighters with the
tactical
ability to communicate in "disadvantaged" environments, such as heavily forested regions where higher frequency signals would be unacceptably
attenuated
by the forest canopy. The MUOS constellation will consist of four operational satellites and one on-orbit spare. MUOS will provide military
point-to-point
and
netted communication
users with precedence-based and pre-emptive access to voice, data, video, or a mixture of voice and data services that span the globe. Connections may be set up on demand by users in the field, within seconds, and then released just as easily, freeing resources for other users. In alignment with more traditional military communications methods, pre-planned networks can also be established either permanently or per specific schedule using the MUOS' ground-based Network Management Center.
