摘要：

ND SatCom Defence GmbH (Friedrichshafen, Germany) has handed over a EUR4 million (US$5.3 million) turnkey ground station for satellite communications to the German armed forces (Bundeswehr) at Kastellaun (Hunsrück, Rheinland-Pfalz), 90 km west of Frankfurt am Main. The new station, ordered in November 2003 by the Bundeswehr's information technology office (IT-AmtBW), follows the deliver earlier of a ND SatCom-built centre at Gerolstein (Eifel, Rheinland-Pfalz), 140 km west of Frankfurt am Main. Both stations, part of the so-called SatComBw programme, are designed to provide secure communication between the homeland and Bundeswehr forces deployed on international operations. Deployed forces are equipped with transportable satellite communications terminals and mobile teams. These can send and receive imagery, data and voice communication from sites in Germany, such as the Bundeswehr operational headquarters in Potsdam near Berlin. At Gerolstein and Kastellaun, hook-up points to the national telecommunications network are used to route incoming and outgoing satellite communications traffic onto and from the Bundeswehr secure network inside Germany. © 2005 Jane's Information Group.
