| Abstract | This paper presents a succinct survey of the commercial assets available to fulfil the US military's needs and the benefits of using these assets. The commercial communications assets with global coverage are comprised of constellations of low Earth orbit (LEO) and geostationary Earth orbit (GEO) satellites. These assets are capable of operating with personal communications devices such as pocket-sized phones and low speed data transceivers, suitcase-sized terminals, or readily deployable Earth stations for larger bandwidth applications. The military requirement for security can be easily met through the use of approved encryption equipment. The value and feasibility of commercial assets has been amply demonstrated on several missions such as Desert Storm, Desert Watch, and the Bosnia peacekeeping operation. Commercial telecommunications companies such as Spacelink maintain an inventory of commercial transportable Earth stations that can be deployed in a matter of days to enable the military to set up duplex communications links where terrestrial communications infrastructure is poor or even nonexistent. The commercial transportable Earth stations range in size from 1.8 to 5.6 meters and afford the advantage of readily matching the end user capacity requirements. Use of commercially available communications assets offers many benefits to the government. By leasing these commercial resources, the government does not have to incur capital expenditures, nor maintain an inventory, to meet the deployment and surge requirements. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
