According to this article, a protected tactical SATCOM prototype (PTS-P) has been developed that could become the first space-based hub of the military’s protected tactical waveform for jam-resistant battlefield communications. This device, created by engineers in the protected tactical SATCOM rapid prototyping program, is meant to demonstrate better standoff distance, less latency, and other mission-enabling capabilities over existing tactical satellite communications.
