The U.S. military has been dramatically transformed by the capabilities of satellite technology, as seen in the 1993 Department of Defense Report on the Bottom-Up Review. This report emphasized the military's reliance on commercial satellites for various purposes and highlighted the enduring, reliable, and global coverage provided. These advancements have also led to improvements in communications, intelligence gathering, analysis, and precision strike capabilities. The military currently relies on ultra high frequency satellites for secure communications, while also utilizing advanced technologies such as 5G and satellite analytics. With the ability to provide situational awareness on the ground and enable communication over long distances, satellite technology has greatly enhanced the way conflicts are fought.
