Why does this matter operationally?
Resilience
The capacity of a connectivity system to maintain acceptable service levels when components fail, links degrade, or conditions change unexpectedly. Resilient architectures use redundancy, failover paths, and graceful degradation to keep operations running when ideal conditions cannot be guaranteed.

Ku Band
Ku Band is a microwave frequency range used in satellite and broadcast communications that supports directional links at frequencies sensitive to weather effects.
Concept/Framework
Kubernetes
Kubernetes is a container orchestration platform used to deploy, scale, and manage containerized applications. It automates workload scheduling and lifecycle control.
Software
L Band
L Band is a lower microwave frequency range used in communications and navigation systems, valued for propagation characteristics and broad service support.
Hardware
Lateral Movement
Lateral movement is the activity of traversing internal trust boundaries or connected systems to expand the operational reach of a compromised actor.
Concept/Framework
Leaky Feeder System
An underground radio communication technology using a specially constructed coaxial cable that intentionally radiates and receives RF signal along its entire length, run through mine tunnels and amplified at intervals…
Hardware
LEO
LEO is low Earth orbit, an orbital regime relatively close to Earth used by satellites in communications and observation systems.
Concept/Framework
LEO Satellite
A LEO Satellite is a spacecraft operating in low Earth orbit used for communications, observation, navigation, or other orbital services.
Hardware
Line of Sight
Line of sight is the direct, unobstructed path between two points that allows radio energy to travel without significant blocking by terrain or structures. It is a key condition for…
Concept/Framework
Link 16
A standardized, jam-resistant tactical data link protocol used by NATO and allied military forces to exchange real-time situational awareness, targeting, and command data directly between aircraft, ships, and ground units.
Protocol
Link Aggregation
Link Aggregation is the combination of multiple physical links into a single logical link for higher capacity or redundancy.
