Conference Chairman’s Welcome Letter
Dear Colleague,
The purpose of this note is to invite you to participate in the 2nd Annual MilSatCom
USA conference taking place on 28 and 29 June, 2017 in Arlington, VA.
Like many of you, I have attended more conferences such as this than I can
count or recall, so I understand you must have a good reason to dedicate two
full days plus any travel time to yet another satellite event. For those of your who
have taken part in the highly respected Global MilSatCom event in London, SMi
Group decided last year to make it easier for US government and industry experts
by putting together a similar forum in the Washington DC area, and I personally
hosted the first day of discussions. Because of the positive feedback from last year,
I have again volunteered to the chair the conference and hope you will join us.
MilSatCom USA will be sharply focused on the defense communication satellite
segment. 2017 is a pivotal year for US decision makers as the Wideband Analysis
of Alternatives progresses at the same time the US redoubles its efforts to ensure
its space capabilities will be resilient enough to survive and operate in the face
of rapidly developing threats. An important element of resiliency is of course
international cooperation, and MilSatCom USA, more than any other event I have
seen, provides in-depth examinations of the key international issues.
We have invited a number of influential government leaders and expect the
turnout to be even better than last year. As always, the event will be structured so
as to allow for maximum interaction between senior officials and the audience.
Please take a close look at the agenda and mark your calendar. I very much
hope to see you in June at MilSatCom USA 2017.
Best Regards,
Tip Osterthaler, BrigGen (USAF, Ret)

TECHNICAL INSIGHTS: FUTURE MILSATCOM SYSTEMS
Overview of the workshop:
Space Systems are increasingly complex, with
large trade spaces that require consideration
of many elements. By applying systematic
processes in SatCom space system architecture
studies, decision makers gain insight into both
the advantages and disadvantages of different
options to support future courses of action.
Architecting space systems requires a big-
picture view of the problem being addressed,
including understanding current shortfalls and
future needs. In the course of an architecture
study, many tools and processes are used to
identify options, understand the risks associated
with the options, and to run excursions within
the trade space. In this workshop, an overview
of architecting space systems will be presented,
with a discussion of principles, tools, techniques
and processes that may be applied to
develop and evaluate concepts for Analysis
of Alternatives (AoA) on current national
programs.
Why should you attend this workshop:
• Learn about some of the tools and techniques
for SatCom system architecture development
• Explore the process of SatCom system
architecture evaluation
• Example of application to a recently
completed SatCom study will be provided

Like many of you, I have attended more conferences such as this than I can count or recall, so I understand you must have a good reason to dedicate two full days plus any travel time to yet another satellite event. For those of your who have taken part in the highly respected Global MilSatCom event in London, SMi Group decided last year to make it easier for US government and industry experts by putting together a similar forum in the Washington DC area, and I personally hosted the first day of discussions. Because of the positive feedback from last year, I have again volunteered to the chair the conference and hope you will join us. MilSatCom USA will be sharply focused on the defense communication satellite segment. 2017 is a pivotal year for US decision makers as the Wideband Analysis of Alternatives progresses at the same time the US redoubles its efforts to ensure its space capabilities will be resilient enough to survive and operate in the face of rapidly developing threats. An important element of resiliency is of course international cooperation, and MilSatCom USA, more than any other event I have seen, provides in-depth examinations of the key international issues. We have invited a number of influential government leaders and expect the turnout to be even better than last year. As always, the event will be structured so as to allow for maximum interaction between senior officials and the audience. Please take a close look at the agenda and mark your calendar. I very much hope to see you in June at MilSatCom USA 2017. Best Regards, Tip Osterthaler, BrigGen (USAF, Ret) Conference Chairman “A really worthwhile conference. Well supported and organised” MilSatCom USA attendee, 2016

  • 4. Overview of the workshop: Space Systems are increasingly complex, with large trade spaces that require consideration of many elements. By applying systematic processes in SatCom space system architecture studies, decision makers gain insight into both the advantages and disadvantages of different options to support future courses of action. Architecting space systems requires a big- picture view of the problem being addressed, including understanding current shortfalls and future needs. In the course of an architecture study, many tools and processes are used to identify options, understand the risks associated with the options, and to run excursions within the trade space. In this workshop, an overview of architecting space systems will be presented, with a discussion of principles, tools, techniques and processes that may be applied to develop and evaluate concepts for Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) on current national programs. Why should you attend this workshop: • Learn about some of the tools and techniques for SatCom system architecture development • Explore the process of SatCom system architecture evaluation • Example of application to a recently completed SatCom study will be provided Architecting Space Systems: Development of Architecture Alternatives Workshop Leader: Mr. Jamie Dronen, Director of MILSATCOM Future & International Programs, The Aerospace Corporation HALF-DAY PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP SHERATON PENTAGON CITY, ARLINGTON, VA, USA | 27TH JUNE 2017 | 12.30 - 4.30 SUPPORTED BY OFFICIAL PUBLICATIONSLEAD MEDIA PARTNERSUPPORTING ASSOCIATION Register online at www.milsatcom-usa.com Programme 12.30 Registration 1.00 Opening remarks and introductions 1.15 Overview of Framework for Performing Architecture Trade Studies for Space Systems 2.15 Afternoon Tea 2.30 Conducting a SatCom Space System Architecture Study using the Portfolio Decision Support Tool (PDST) • Discuss tools and techniques for conducting architecture trade studies • Views and products using a non-program specific example will be shown 4.30 Closing remarks and discussion About the workshop hosts: Mr. Jamie Dronen is the Director of MILSATCOM Future & International Programs at The Aerospace Corporation, a leading architect for the nation’s national security space programs.Inthisposition,hisprimaryresponsibilityistoworkdirectlywiththeU.S.Government to manage the technical aspects of the existing international partnerships, defining and developing opportunities for future international collaboration, proposing and assessing science and technology efforts, performing analysis of future MILSATCOM architectures, and seeking commercial SATCOM pathfinders.
