Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is provided. The method includes selecting, with a communications management system, a first satellite communications (SATCOM) system of a plurality of SATCOM systems as a primary SATCOM system based on user input, received by a human machine interface, that identifies the first SATCOM system as a user-selected SATCOM system. The method further includes automatically switching, with the communications management system, the primary SATCOM system from the first SATCOM system to a second SATCOM system of the plurality of SATCOM systems in response to: a fault status for the first SATCOM system; a loss of channel availability for the first SATCOM system; and/or a failed datalink message transmission for the first SATCOM system. The method further includes establishing a communication link between the primary SATCOM system and a ground station.
