T1TL [Northrop Grumman]
The Transport Layer is an experimental military satellite constellation developed by the SDA (Space Development Agency), which will serve as the backbone of the National Defense Space Architecture (NDSA), connecting the various satellites to each other and to the war fighter. The Transport Layer will provide the key space network component to the Department of Defenses Joint All-Domain Command and Control.
