    1. Satellite EMI/RFI Mitigation DoD Satcom Users Workshop 5-7 December 2006

    2. Agenda Introduction & Background Wartime Experiences Mitigation Fronts

    3. Introduction SUIRG’s Mission SUIRG is a not-for-profit international assembly of parties, within which members work towards the reduction of radio frequency interference (RFI) through pro-active programs and education.

    4. Its goals are to: Develop means to reduce RFI on communication satellites Promote and further equipment design with the view to minimize interference Share, for the mutual benefit of all, information including procedures and guidelines related to troublesome interference situations

    5. Who Belongs Communication Satellite Operators Satellite Service Users Satellite Monitoring Equipment Vendors Other Organizations concerned with Interference Founding Members: Intelsat, PanAmSat, Inmarsat, NewSkies, QinetiQ, Glowlink Military oriented members: General Dynamics, Aerospace Corp., & Mitre

    6. Global Interference Combatants World Broadcasting Union/International Satellite Operations Group Cable And Satellite Broadcast Association Asia US Gov’t Organizations Asia Pacific Satellite Communications Council Global VSAT Forum World Teleport Association SUIRG

    7. More Effective, Coordinated Approach

    8. Wartime Experiences Military use of commercial Satcom has grown significantly during the Iraq war 1990-91 Iraq War: 99 Mbps/542,000 900 kbps/5000 troops Kosovo (1999): 250 Mbps/51,000 24.5 Mbps/5000 troops 2003-05 Iraq War: 3200 Mbps/132,000 121 Mbps/5000 troops 80% of all satellite bandwidth used by military in Iraq is provided by commercial providers E.g. Intelsat, Eutelsat, PanAmSat, NSS

    9. Tracked Carrier Problems 7/04-10/05

    10. Breakdown of Satcom Problems 7/04-10/05

    11. Upshot: 21 of 50 cases of interference cause never found 9 of these were CW, 5 sweepers All cases of CW sweepers occurred in Southwest Asia (Iraq) Classification concerns preclude a further description, but... Reasonable to believe these were intentional hostile interference, or jamming

    12. Vulnerabilities of Commercial Satcom Prone to denial of service attack Uplink jamming possible from a wide area with rudimentary equipment Transponders made for a competitive market, not war time Many customers served, prevents some types of jamming defense Interception & Spoofing less likely Reception is easy, decryption is hard Spoofing a Full Duplex link is hard Spoofing a Broadcast is easier

    13. SUIRG Mitigation Fronts Interference fighting on 6 fronts Problem recognition Location of hidden interference Source Geo-location Removal Operational Awareness Regulatory

    14. Active SUIRG Programs Training and Certification WG Interference Source Locator WG Up-linker Database Interference Incident Analysis Database Interference Signature & Resolution Database (under development) Membership assistance Regulatory WG

    15. New users in C-band downlinks

    16. Unwanted emissions

    17. Benefits of Satellite Interference Reduction Increased revenues from the freeing of lost capacity and reduction of service rebates Reduced costs in manpower needed to address interference problems and from simplification of operations Improved customer satisfaction through better quality of service Military field interference can cost lives.
