Military satellites promise improved Washington Vietnam links
Project officials say the satellites can be operational within weeks and offer major gains for military communications. The seven new satellites use narrow band microwave transmission to resist atmospheric interference, remaining functional even after a nuclear event, and cannot be jammed without high cost due to lack of a ground command receiver.
