About
Satellite is the keystone as the Department of Defense and commercial innovators integrate their technologies and ideas to accelerate the delivery of resilient, multi-orbit networks. New capabilities in space and across advanced ground infrastructures are opening the door to critical advantages in a competitive and adversarial world.

During this technology webcast the panelists will discuss the development of emerging, next-generation technologies that can evolve over time to enable digitalized SATCOM infrastructures and integrate services across blended military and commercial networks.
Join us to discover how the access to multi-orbit capabilities between Geostationary Orbit (GEO), Medium-Earth Orbit (MEO), and Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) networks across commercial and purpose-built systems could enhance mission effectiveness in future all-domain operations.
