Abstract
Middle East countries are showing growing recognition of MILSATCOM capability,
which is reflected in their growing investment on space assets for both
defence and Home Land Security (HLS) needs. Most of the Middle East MODs under
study are likely to acquire dedicated MILSATCOM capability between 2011 and
2013, by the way of leasing dedicated transponders onboard hybrid satellites
(satellites being used for both military, government and commercial purposes),
and owning SATCOM terminals and associated network infrastructures. Although
present bandwidth use is dominated by mostly C and Ku bands, the scenario is
likely to favour mass use of ka band towards the end of research period, with
a sizable intake of AEHF band.
