US Milstar

Amerikansk militær kommunikationssatelit fra 1996. Jordstationer til Milstar er placeret bl.a. i Fylingdales og i Thulebasen.
All strategic and nuclear users will migrate to EHF terminals using the Milstar satellites. These SATCOM systems will provide one of two primary means to provide command and control of U.S. strategic nuclear forces. The first Milstar satellite was launched on 7 Feb 94 and the second was launched on 6 Nov 95.
Milstar II is an enhancement to the Milstar I capability and is equipped with the Extremely High Frequency (EHF) Low Data Rate (LDR) payload of Milstar I satellites (Flights 1 and 2) and an additional EHF Medium Data Rate (MDR) payload which provides increased tactical capabilities, including higher data rates to mobile forces and "nulling" that will neutralize close-in enemy jammers.
Planer om opgradering fra 1999. Milstar afløses eller udvides med Milsatcom i 1999.
Milstar er bl.a. styresystem til Trident- atomubådenes ballistiske raketter og ubemandede fly. Producent: Lockheed Martin Space Systems.
