3. AAE 451 - Team 1 - 2/20/073 Market Size By 2010, existing and planned capacities are forecast to meet only 44 percent of the need projected by Joint Vision 2010 to ensure information superiority. By 2010, existing and planned capacities are forecast to meet only 44 percent of the need projected by Joint Vision 2010 to ensure information superiority. Tactical communication needs can be met much more responsively and effectively with ACNs than with satellites. ACNs can effectively augment theater satellite capabilities by addressing deficiencies in capacity and connectivity. Satellites are better suited than UA for meeting high capacity, worldwide communications needs. - UAS Roadmap 2005 ACN: Aircraft Communication Node
