MILSTAR (military, strategic, and tactical relay satellite) are a family of U.S. satellite communications systems that are optimized to be survivable in the face of nuclear warfare and jamming; they are of the "protected" rather than "wideband" class (i.e., current Defense Satellite Communications System. MILSTAR I and II are operational, but they will gradually be replaced by the Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) family, which at one time was designated MILSTAR III.

MILSTAR satellites were the first to use Extremely High Frequency (EHF) communications. They are crosslinked in space with 10 Mbps digital links.

They provide low and medium rate data service.
