The purpose of this paper is to develop a model to maximize the
efficiency with which satellite communications (SATCOM) resources
are used. The paper begins by presenting background information on
the problem, including the utility of SATCOM, a description of how
SATCOM works and identifying SATCOM systems in use. The paper then
examines the current process for assigning SATCOM resources and
identifies a shortcoming that may be improved by the model
presented. Once the problem is fully described, a technique known
as linear modeling is introduced as a potential means to increase
efficiency of resource utilization. The paper then presents an
example of a linear model that could be expanded for implementation
and used for actual problem analysis. The final section of the
paper describes areas that require further study and additional
steps that must be taken to convert the concept presented in this
paper to an actual model suitable for use.
