Airbus and UK MoD discuss next steps for Skynet 6 at Global

SMi Group’s 19th Global MilSatCom Conference will showcase exclusive presentations from the UK Ministry of Defence and Airbus.

This comes at a relevant time with the UK MoD recently granting Airbus a contract to oversee the manufacture, assembly, integration and launch of Skynet 6. This acquisition will fill the capacity gap as the Skynet 5 constellation approaches its end-of-life, and will deliver sovereign and secure satcom capability for the UK.

In an exclusive host nation address Air Commodore Nick Hay, Head of Capability C4ISR & SRO, HQ Joint Forces Command will provide the Ministry of Defence’s Perspective on MilSatCom. Opening the three-day event, Air Commodore Hay will touch on the current space policy, lessons learned from Wargaming and Skynet 5, as well as next steps on Skynet 6.

Concurrently, Airbus will be presenting three exclusive talks at the event.

Richard Franklin, Head of Secure Communications, will explore Ubiquitous Communications where he will discuss the exploitation of networks, big data, and the importance of security.

Hughes Boulnois, Head of SpaceDataHighway, will hold a session on The Importance of Airborne Connectivity and Enabling Assets. This explores the benefits of laser communications for aircraft and EO satellites, as well as enhanced defence applications.

Dr Tanvir Ahmad of Airbus MilSatCom Space Systems will talk about recent innovations and future trends to combat complex military needs.

Airbus will also be hosting a networking drinks reception on Day 2 of Global MilSatCom 2017.
