installing additional segments for joint planning. These ships also host the <strong>Joint</strong><br />
Deployable Intelligence Support System (JDISS).<br />
• Satellite Communications Systems. Naval forces located at sustaining bases <strong>and</strong><br />
comm<strong>and</strong> centers ashore, use the DII DISN for information push <strong>and</strong> pull. The DISN<br />
provides a seamless web of high capacity communications networks, computer<br />
databases, applications, <strong>and</strong> other information processing <strong>and</strong> transport. Naval forces<br />
not at sustaining bases <strong>and</strong> comm<strong>and</strong> centers transfer information via the Copernicus<br />
Architecture pillars known as TADIXS <strong>and</strong> BCIXS. The Tactical Data Information<br />
Exchange System (TADIXS) <strong>and</strong> Battlecube Information Exchange System (BCIXS)<br />
rely upon RF media. This requires the efficient utilization <strong>and</strong> networking of<br />
communications resources at all available frequency b<strong>and</strong>s (i.e., ELF, VLF/LF,<br />
HF/VHF, UHF, HF, EHF). Commercial SATCOM systems used by the Navy includes<br />
the GTE SpaceNet, International Maritime Satellite System (INMARSAT), <strong>and</strong><br />
Challenge Athena.<br />
