Alain Fauré, Head of Space Systems: "Space is ushering in a new paradigm in defense, delivering ubiquitous connectivity, secure communications, and instant, global awareness of threats. At Airbus, we provide dual-use satellite technologies, from telecommunications to Earth observation offering vital benefits and efficiencies. Airbus is actively supporting nations with in-orbit capabilities, contributing to the 5th domain of defense through initiatives like SARah-1 for Germany, SpainSat-NG for Spain, the SYRACUSE 4 and CSO-3 systems for France and Skynet 6A for the UK, and with seven government-grade satellites set to launch this year."

Space is recognised as critical national infrastructure in the government's Strategic Defence Review, underpinning the importance of space to both our daily lives as well as defence. 🛰️🌍
