Communications On The Move is a term used to describe mobile communications capability, particularly in military applications, with regard to BLOS communications.
The basic principle of BLOS COTM is that equipment is fitted with an antenna that can establish satellite communication without the need to stop or pause. TACSAT, for example, uses UHF satellite links for BLOS but the operator must pause to locate the satellite.
