It is applicable toairborne, afloat, and ashore (fixed or mobile)subscribers of the Fleet Satellite Communications(FLTSATCOM) system (including Fleet Satellite (FLTSAT),Leased Satellite (LEASAT), GAPFILLER, and UHF Follow-on(UFO)). section of the NAVAL TelecommunicationsProcedures 2 (NTP 2) is intended as a source ofinformation to assist in the planning of FLTSATCOM operations. It is an applicable information source fornaval staffs at all echelons and for supervisors ofterminal operators.

8 It is intended to complementexisting directives, publications, and other NTP's. NTP2, Sections 1 and 3 provide operating PROCEDURES forsuper high frequency (SHF) and extremely high frequency(EHF) SATCOM, The FLTSATCOM system is a resource of theDepartment of Defense (DOD), which is managed andoperated by the navy in accordance with prioritiesestablished by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff(CJCS). Air Force capabilities are employed toexecute stationkeeping tasks for the space segment. Itis in this joint context that the policies and procedureswhich govern FLTSATCOM system operations must beconsidered. The relationships of these parties arereflected in figure 1-1 and described in the of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

9 The1-1 ORIGINALNTP 2 SECTION 2(E)Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff allocates militarysatellite communications (MILSATCOM) resources to satisfynational defense requirements and specifies operationalprocedures and responsibilities for system managers,operators, and users. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefsof Staff also recommends to the Secretary of Defensethose actions required for shared use of MILSATCOM assetsand services and reviews proposed cooperative agreementsbetween the Department of Defense and other agencies orgovernments relative to shared use. The Chairman of theJoint Chiefs of Staff also reviews and approves userconnectivity requirements, defines the process forrequirements documentation, and approvespositioning/repositioning of 1-1 FLTSATCOM in Chief, Space Command1-2 ORIGINALNTP 2 SECTION 2(E)(USCINCSPACE).

10 This unified commander is responsible tothe Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for maintainingthe health, status, and survivability of the SATCOM spacesegment. In this role, USCINCSPACE plans and executesUHF spacecraft tracking, stationkeeping, ephemeris datageneration, and payload Information Systems Agency (DISA).This agency (formerly the Defense Communications Agency)is the DOD-designated manager of the DefenseCommunications System (DCS). DISA designs, engineers,and develops the DCS to satisfy validated has overall responsibility for planning, developing,and supporting the command, control, communications (C3),and information systems that serve the needs of the National Command Authorities.
