That looks crazy, but true. I’m struggling to put a thing together that describes US satellite capabilities in several years and I keep learning things that set me back and rewrite before I even get to my point. One of ideas is that platoons will have access to satellite recon within seconds before the decade is out, but I have to cover so much background to get there. But this kinda is where things are going - a 4x4 linking to multiple networks across multiple wave forms and presenting the result on an almost laptop type terminal, available anytime you ping your location and information request.
