Details

Developed in response to last year’s Defence Strategic Review, the 2024 National Defence Strategy sees a Strategy of Denial become the cornerstone of Defence planning. This approach guides Defence’s contribution to National Defence and spans all domains – maritime, land, air, space and cyber.
In this presentation, we will examine the capabilities of SES’s multi-orbit solutions, including O3b mPOWER, our medium earth orbit (MEO) satellite system. This system offers high-capacity, low-latency connectivity; with a focus on its strategic alignment to key Defence priorities.
The presentation will also offer key insights into O3b mPOWER, along with a concise technical introduction to its space, ground and control segments of the system. We will explore the advantages of MEO, focusing on its resilience, throughput, and latency benefits.
Most importantly, the presentation will outline key Defence applications for O3b mPOWER, ranging from enterprise connectivity to remote sites and ship-borne quality of life services to supporting secure Command and Control (C2), Integrated Air and Missile Defence (IAMD), and counter-hypersonic interdiction.
