Airbus Defence and Space and Greenerwave strengthen their strategic partnership in satellite communications through two new contracts

Following the first contract announced at the Paris Air Show in June 2025, in the presence of the French Minister for the Armed Forces, Airbus Defence and Space and Greenerwave have announced the strengthening of their strategic partnership through the expansion of their collaboration.

This new milestone is marked by the signing of two additional contracts with a total value of several million euros, further reinforcing and broadening the cooperation between the two companies. These agreements reflect their mutual trust and shared commitment to developing cutting-edge technological solutions for the benefit of their end customers, notably the French Armed Forces.

Through these agreements, Airbus Defence and Space is enhancing its end-to-end satellite communications (SATCOM) solutions by leveraging Greenerwave’s innovative flat-panel antennas, recognized for their multi-orbit capability and very low power consumption. This enables flexible, easily deployable, reliable, and resource-efficient solutions across demanding environments.

“The strengthening of our partnership with Airbus Defence and Space marks a major milestone for Greenerwave. It demonstrates the relevance of our satellite communication solutions in demanding environments, where performance, energy efficiency, and flexibility have become strategic requirements. These new contracts also reflect our tangible contribution to French and European technological sovereignty” said Geoffroy Lerosey, President and co-founder of Greenerwave.

"This strategic partnership between Airbus Defence and Space, leveraging over 50 years of expertise in the secured satellite communication domain, and Greenerwave, a leader in innovative multiband antennas, represents a major advancement in the emergence of a new generation of terminals for defence applications. Together, we will offer an end-to-end and disruptive solution, enhancing the capabilities of the French armed forces. Through this collaboration, we guarantee them secure and resilient access to critical data, regardless of the operational situation and in all environments (air, land, sea). This alliance illustrates our shared commitment to placing innovation and technological sovereignty at the heart of our missions," said Eric Even, SVP, Head of Space Digital at Airbus Defence & Space.

One of these contracts falls within the Copernic procurement contract, a 10-year framework agreement led by the French Defence Procurement Agency (DGA), aimed at providing the French Armed Forces with sovereign, flexible, and resilient satellite communication capabilities.

This strengthened partnership illustrates the shared ambition of Airbus Defence and Space and Greenerwave to actively contribute to French and European technological sovereignty by delivering high-performance “Made in France” communication solutions.

Through this strategic collaboration, Airbus Defence and Space and Greenerwave reaffirm their joint commitment to national technological sovereignty, support for the French and European Defence Technological and Industrial Base (DTIB), and breakthrough innovation in support of the armed forces.
