The VULOS (VHF/UHF Lightweight Operational Satellite) supports a frequency range of 30 to 511.999 MHz. This specific range allows the system to operate effectively in both the very high frequency (VHF) and ultra high frequency (UHF) bands, which are crucial for various communication purposes, especially in military and operational contexts.

The lower end of the frequency range begins at 30 MHz, which is a common start point for VHF communications, and extends just below 512 MHz. This range enables the VULOS to access a broad spectrum of channels, accommodating different types of transmissions including those used during various military operations and inter-agency communications.

This versatility and broad coverage within the specified frequency is essential for the system's functionality, ensuring effective communication across a variety of scenarios and environments.
