Military satellites provide a wide range of services including communication services, gathering intelligence data, weather forecasting, early warning, providing navigation information and timing data. This chapter discusses the various facets of military satellites related to their development and application potential, and begins with an overview of military satellites, followed by a description of various types of military satellites. It also discusses the different applications of military satellites. The bands of interest for military satellite communications are the X, K, Ka and Q bands. Reconnaissance satellites can be subcategorized into four types; these are described in the chapter. The chapter also discusses nuclear explosion detecting satellites, space weapons, Strategic Defence Initiative (SDI), and directed energy laser weapons. Some of the advanced concepts in military satellite system that may become a reality in the next decade are also discussed in the chapter.
