US military satellite communications system whose first satellite was launched in February 1994. It was designed to function in a nuclear war and broadcast orders to launch weapons. After the breakup of the Soviet Union the continuation of its development became controversial.

Milstar consisted of a network of five communications satellites in geostationary orbit and around 1,200 portable ground terminals.
