Frombroadcastingsportsgamestotelemedicine,theapplicationofsatellitecommunicationhasgreatlyreducedthedistancesaroundtheworldandprovidedlight-speedcommunicationacrosscontinents.Now,satellitesarehelpingmilitaryvehicleskeepintouchwiththeoutsideworldfarbeyondthehorizon.
Generally,militaryvehiclesmainlyusethreeradiocommunicationmethodstokeepintouchwithsoldiers,commanders,andvehiclesofothertroops.Thesethreecommunicationmethodsinclude:highfrequency(referredtoasHF,electromagneticspectrumrangefrom3MHzto30MHz)radiocommunication,veryhighfrequency(referredtoasVHF,electromagneticspectrumrangefrom30MHzto300MHz)radiocommunication,andultra-highfrequency(ReferredtoasUHF,theelectromagneticspectrumrangesfrom300MHzto3000MHz)radiocommunication.Amongthethreeradiocommunicationmethods,onlyhigh-frequencycommunicationprovidesBLOSradiocoverage.Thisisbecausehigh-frequencytransmissionrequirestheuseoftheionosphere.Theionosphereisapartiallyionizedatmosphericregionlocatedatanaltitudeof85kilometersto660kilometers.Itislikeatrampoline,throughwhichhigh-frequencysignalscanbecontinuouslyreflectedtoreachthedestination.However,althoughhigh-frequencyradiocommunicationcanprovideaverylargecommunicationdistance,thedata,imageandvoicetraffictheycanhandleisextremelylimited.Onthecontrary,VHFandUHFradiocommunicationmethodscanhandlealargeamountofvoice,dataandimages,buttheyonlyhaveasmallcommunicationdistancebecausetheycanonlyprovideline-of-sightcommunication.Inshort,high-frequencyradiocommunicationmethodsprovidepeoplewithlong-distancecommunication,buttheirbandwidthislimited;VHFandUHFradiocommunicationmethodsprovidepeoplewithhighbandwidth,buttheircommunicationdistancesarelimited.
