Modern warfare and security operations are defined by connectivity. In an era where information is as critical as ammunition, the ability to communicate securely and resiliently is non-negotiable.
But the battlefield is changing. Adversaries are more sophisticated, environments are more congested, and the pace of operations is accelerating. To stay ahead, defence organizations must look beyond traditional satellite communications (SatCom) and embrace a new generation of highly secure and resilient systems designed to support multi-domain operations.
The webinar hosted by GSOA and sponsored by ST Engineering iDirect, “Securing the Future: Satellite Communications for Defence & Security,” dives deep into this critical evolution. Moderated by Paul Wells from the UK MoD, panelists from SES, Global Invacom, MDA Space, and ST Engineering iDirect discuss how security in the defence sector is no longer just about encryption; it is about operational resilience. It involves the entire supply chain, spectrum dominance, and the ability to pivot instantly when conditions change.
Beyond Connectivity: The Evolution of Defence SatCom
This session explores how satellite systems are transforming from static infrastructure into dynamic, intelligent assets capable of shaping the future of global operations. The conversation moves past basic connectivity to address the core needs of modern missions: resilience, security, and adaptability.
The experts unpack the technologies that are redefining what is possible in contested environments.
Here is a glimpse of what the panel covers:
- Threat Mitigation & Advanced Network Design: Learn how modern networks are being architected to withstand jamming, interference, and cyber threats, ensuring mission continuity even when under attack.
- The Power of Multi-Orbit & Multi-Waveform: Discover how combining Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), and Geostationary Orbit (GEO) assets with diverse waveforms creates a robust, layered network that is difficult to disrupt.
- AI and Automation: See how Artificial Intelligence is being deployed to manage network resources automatically, optimizing performance in real-time without human intervention.
- Flexible Virtualized Ground Systems: Understand the shift away from rigid hardware towards software-defined ground systems that allow for rapid reconfiguration and seamless interoperability.
- LPx (Low Probability of Detection/Intercept): Explore the cutting-edge techniques used to keep communications covert, reducing the radio frequency signature to protect troops and assets from enemy detection.
