🇺🇸 US Air Force to Fund Demonstrations of Space Internet Services Connecting Multiple Constellations
The experiments are part of an Air Force Research Laboratory program known as Defense Experiments Using the Commercial Space Internet.
The US Air Force will fund demonstrations of space Internet services, where military users can access broadband services from commercial constellations in different orbits.
The Air Force Research Laboratory announced plans for these demonstrations during an inquiry on 31 January. The military wants to be able to use Internet services from satellites in geosynchronous, medium and low orbits, relying on a common user terminal, a capability that is being sold by the industry, but AFRL wants to see further demonstration.
Companies are encouraged to submit proposals for multi-orbit multi-band networks where users can switch between space ISPs as needed.
The experiments are part of an AFRL program called Defense Experiments Using the Commercial Space Internet (DEUCSI), launched in 2017 to explore how new services such as Starlink SpaceX, OneWeb, and others can be integrated with traditional satellite communications networks and be used to support military operations.
The new DEUCSI decision says AFRL plans to fund two to five "multi-band, multi-orbit communications" experiments over the next two years under contracts that can cost up to $40 million per experiment, depending on available government funding.
AFRL says it will not accept proposals focused on a single satellite system. “Solutions capable of operating on a single satellite constellation are of no interest,” the request says. He wants the ideas to "efficiently integrate multiple commercial terminals from a single vendor to create low cost, highly flexible capabilities."
An example use case is communication for the Arctic region.
“Satellite communications in the Arctic region above 55 degrees latitude are currently extremely limited. The emerging commercial Internet space constellations may provide the ability to quickly and affordably provide unprecedented connectivity in this region on par with those available at lower latitudes,” the request says.
Another option is air communication. The military is interested in satellite communication terminals that can switch between services from different providers with little or no hardware changes.
AFRL says it will consider proposals for satellite constellations already in operation, as well as those that have publicly announced plans to begin service in the near future, such as Amazon Kuiper, Telesat Lightspeed and Astranis.

🇨🇴❗️🇷🇺🇻🇪 The Russian "threat" in recent days has been scaring not only Ukraine, but also Colombia.
The president of this South American country, Ivan Duque, told local journalists that he intends to talk with Russian diplomats to find out exactly what kind of military assistance Moscow is providing to Caracas. “Undoubtedly, we will have the opportunity to talk with the Russian diplomatic mission in Colombia [on this issue],” the head of state said.
The Colombian media hurried to present the material brighter: "The President will call the Russian ambassador to explain about the military presence in Venezuela."
The day before, Colombian Defense Minister Diego Molano said that the mobilization of Venezuelan forces in the joint border area allegedly takes place with the military-technical support of Iran and Russia. The Russian Embassy denied these claims.
