aka USN Space, US Navy Satellite, NAVSCOMSAT

The US Navy operates dedicated satellite communications systems for maritime and expeditionary forces. Key systems include the Mobile User Objective System (MUOS), the legacy UHF Follow-On (UFO) satellites, and Fleet Satellite Communications System (FLTSATCOM). Since 2019, many Navy space activities have transitioned to the US Space Force, but the Navy retains ownership of operational comm satellites servicing fleet assets.
