1.1 System Overview
The implementation of the Global Broadcast Service (GBS) will provide a worldwide, high capacity, one-way transmission means for a variety of data, imagery, and other information required to support joint forces.
The GBS system must ensure the timely and accurate worldwide delivery of high-volume, bandwidth-intensive products such as video, imagery, theater and national level intelligence, to end users. The GBS must be accessible to end users and must therefore employ readily available commercial technologies which are inexpensive and easily integrated into existing systems and processes, yet not so unwieldy as to be unusable by smaller and more mobile units. To this end, the GBS will use robust broadcast payloads on a constellation of Government owned and operated geosynchronous satellites, augmented by leased commercial satellite services, and a system of fixed and transportable injection terminals interconnected via high-bandwidth terrestrial communications links.
Figure 1.1-1 depicts the segments and elements of the GBS system. The end users can communicate additional needs through the reachback channels to the data sources, Theater Information Manager (TIM), or to the Satellite Broadcast Manager.
