The Defense Communication System (DCS) is an integrated terrestrial and satellite communications system. This report is concerned with the DCS satellite nets which consist of several collections of earth terminals each served by a single spacecraft. There are fundamental differences between the control of commercial and military satellite nets. Network control attains added significance when demand assignment is introduced into the system. As a first step toward the development of a control methodology for the DSCS, a brief review of current and planned multiple access commercial communications systems is presented. It is hoped that subsequent studies will examine similarities and differences between the commercial and military environments. As a result of such analyses a control methodology can hopefully be devised. This report is intended as a small contribution toward the development of a control model for the DSCS.
