SATCOM Evaluation Tool

The SATCOM Evaluation Tool (SET) is an engineering software tool designed to analyze the loading capacity and configuration of satellite communication systems.

Attributes

• Multi-constellation
• Flexible
• Fast
• Configurable Space Segment
• Configurable Terminal Segment
• Medium Fidelity
• User Friendly

SET models the earth terminals, satellite constellations, and communications links in a defined loading scenario. Based on the development of LinQuest Corporation’s flexible communications resource modeling framework, the SET accepts an operator-defined scenario input and executes a sequence of loading functions on that data.

Capabilities

• Link Budgeting
• Loading and Capacity Analysis
• Scenario Display
• Beam Laydown
• Terminal Laydown
• Orbital Mechanics
• Payload Configuration Changes
• Terminal Configuration Changes
• Weather models
• IP Capacity
• Positive Control

The result of SET loading processes is a realistic assessment of both terminal and satellite capacity. SET allows the operator to modify the scenario input data without having to recompile the software for quick turn-around analyses and trade studies. SET currently supports EHF protected communications systems including Milstar, AEHF, and TSAT.
