- Description
- Background and Introduction: The Commercial Satellite Communications (COMSATCOM) Pathfinder series was created in response to the July 2014 Defense Planning Guidance for FY16 - FY20, and the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (NDAA for FY14) Senate Report 113-44. Additionally, congressional language in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 directs the Department of Defense (DoD) to explore new and innovative ways to acquire COMSATCOM for the benefit of the warfighter and the taxpayers. The Pathfinder series is designed to demonstrate how COMSATCOM solutions can improve flexibility, reduce cost through innovative acquisition strategies, and increase capability by utilizing commercial technologies versus traditional leasing efforts. The COMSATCOM Pathfinder series will demonstrate innovative and resilient wideband alternatives by leveraging readily available COMSATCOM solutions. Pathfinder 2 (PF #2) will acquire at least one pre-launch transponder that will be utilized over the Continental United States (CONUS).
