SECURE SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS BASED AUTOMATED INFO BROADCAST SYSTEM USING RECEIVE ONLY USER TERMINALS.

Right info at right time to field forces is a vital element in operations. Hence, a secure Information Broadcast System using Receive only Terminal to combat teams in field is proposed. This broadcast system should have high data rate (greater than 1Mbps) with small form factor, ruggedized Receive only Terminals, operating in S band and powered by a battery offering backup time of 2 hrs. The broadcast system should be able to transmit images, text messages and small video to dedicated terminals.
