How drones are transforming SATCOM testing offshore
and in the sky

14 October 2020

With the rise of satcom-on-the-move, the number of antennas being produced and rushed into use is booming, with testing becoming a very real bottleneck. Today, unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) are changing how testing is carried out for SATCOM systems on cruise ships, planes, trains and other environments in transit - saving substantial costs and time.

How faster deployment of transformative capabilities are changing the game in defense

9 September 2020

The US Department of Defense (DOD) has historically been the driver of technological innovation that empowers warfighter effectiveness and safety. Over the past 25 years, however, a transformational shift has taken place in several key areas and technology leadership is no longer being driven by the military, but rather by the private sector.

Download this infographic to see how the gap is widening and how defense acquisition can leverage and exploit increasingly rapid commercial innovation.

Leveraging Private Sector Best Practices for Defense

31 August 2020

The US Department of Defense (DoD) and its allies have historically been the inventors of new technology, but the innovative approaches taking place in today’s private sector are helping to foster a new era of defense technology. With non-traditional business models and a track record of investing in its own research and development to deliver game-changing capabilities before a program of record is ever established, partnering with the private sector will allow the U.S. and its allies to maintain a competitive edge across today’s data-driven battlespace. Download this white paper to learn more about private sector best practices that are rapidly delivering unprecedented warfighter operational capabilities.

The new homefront - how military and security providers are defending against COVID-19

16 August 2020

The fight against COVID-19 has been a war of its own, with very real sacrifices and hardships. Unlike the wars we have known, this conflict is one we all fight, in our own mundane little ways, and the role of businesses in that struggle is a considerable one. It’s time we recognised the actions of those corporations who have fought to keep us safe.
