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.

Virtual reality (VR) has gone through a growth spurt over the last five years courtesy of the video games industry. The sophistication of these programs and the proven capability to secure revenue streams have propelled the technology forward to pioneer new applications in the field of mission-critical instruction. But how does the technology translate, and what can be achieved with it over
conventional educational methods?

In an era of digitization, growing numbers of utilities and enterprises such as water, power, shipping, and mining are coming online to streamline operations in all manner of ways. Satellite, naturally, has a great role to play in connecting such operations in remote or hard-to-reach areas.

Man portable communications play a key role in governmental and military operations worldwide to ensure safe, reliable, and secure communications. Requiring extremely complex technology to achieve all of the above, there are many things to consider, with the size, weight, and power (SWaP) attributes of the highest import.

Intelsat operates the world’s first globalized network, delivering high-quality, cost-effective video and broadband services anywhere in the world. The company played a large role in the recent Arianespace launch, in which the Galaxy 30 platform was launched alongside SpaceLogistics’ MEV-2, which aimed to
extend the operational life of their Intelsat 1002 installation. Jean-Luc Froeliger, Vice President, Space Systems Engineering and Operations at Intelsat, discusses the company’s recent developments.

Very small aperture terminals (VSATs) have been around for decades now, proving themselves extremely agile in delivering connectivity on the move and in remote and rural locations for a wide range of applications. Their popularity is booming now more than ever as the technology is better understood and utilised in partnerships between companies.

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.

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.

AMERGINT delivers software-defined signal and protocol processing applications. The company serves the satellite ground, test and data acquisition markets across defence, scientific and commercial sectors. Company President Rob Andzik talks about the emerging nature of electronic warfare (EW), and the company’s efforts to help remain resilient to cyber threats.

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.
