DSCS is used for which category of SATCOM?

DSCS is about delivering high-capacity, secure communications for military users across broad areas. That level of throughput and the ability to carry large data streams, video, and multicast traffic define wideband SATCOM. Narrowband SATCOM covers low-rate voice/data, while ISR is a mission area rather than a bandwidth category, and aerial refueling isn’t related to SATCOM capabilities. So DSCS fits the wideband category.
