OMS/UCI. It should also include a bidding/registration mechanism to query the networks, or request capabilitiesDoD Purpose-Built vs Fully Layered Networking

Enhance the DoD Enduring Mission
1. Immediately assess private sector Satcom services in a
warfighter context
2. Change the pilot/pathfinder acquisition model to enable “Satcom
as a Service” including “operational effects” against current
and emerging threat vectors
3. Immediately expand existing capabilities to encompass
private sector Satcom services
4. Deploy multi-network terminals that can support both existing
and emerging networks to add resiliency and enabling an
immediate pivot-off leased Ku-band
5. Immediately implement a scalable Hybrid Adaptive Network
architecture
