Government & Defense

Government & Defense
MADE FOR CRITICAL MISSIONS

If you work in government or defense, you know that connectivity is the backbone of critical missions. The ability to communicate securely, maintain ISR feeds under pressure, and sustain command links across any orbit, in any environment, is vital

 

Cobham Satcom offers a full portfolio of defense-grade communications and ISR solutions. Our industry-leading multi-orbit capabilities, made possible by our decades of experience in NGSO satellite tracking, are trusted by defense ministries, naval commands, special operations forces, and governments agencies around the world.

 

From rapid-deploy tactical tracking terminals to custom-engineered intelligence solutions, we provide the ground segment technology and secure, resilient satellite connectivity that keeps critical government and defense operations connected and informed.

    Tactical Communications

    Modern tactical operations demand connectivity that is fast to deploy, resilient across orbits, and secure as standard. Whether you’re establishing a forward operating base in terrain with no existing infrastructure, or sustaining command links during fast-moving operations, the ability to acquire and maintain a resilient satellite link is a direct operational advantage. We engineer multi-mission, high bandwidth, remotely operated antennas, deployed globally with superior retrace. Because modern operations depend on resilient connectivity across every band, in every orbit, in every domain.

  • Special Operations & Covert Deployments

    Special Operations & Covert Deployments

    In special operations missions, it’s not just dependable connectivity that’s important, but the size, weight, power and signature of the equipment. A system that gives away your position through noise, heat, or visible profile, is a liability. Our range of low-profile, low-power solutions are engineered with these exact considerations in mind, with options including one-man pack carry, silent deployment, advanced security protection, and low thermal signature.

  • Navy & Maritime Defense

    Navy & Maritime Defense

    From frigates and patrol vessels to unmanned surface systems, naval platforms operate in some of the most demanding environments for satellite communications. Shipborne antenna systems must be built to withstand heavy sea states, rapid maneuvers, and changing coverage zones, while maintaining ISR feed continuity. We’ve spent decades keeping critical sectors connected at sea, and our strong heritage in maritime pointing accuracy lies at the heart of our cutting-edge portfolio of connectivity solutions for navy and maritime defense.

  • Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR)

    Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR)

    ISR operations must collect data continuously, from multiple satellite sources, across multiple orbits, with the signal fidelity required for intelligence analysis. Our range of ISR-specific ground systems are engineered to meet this standard. With multi-band, multi-orbit data capture across C, X, Ku and Ka bands, simultaneous multi-channel collection, and low-noise RF chain, ISR measurement quality is guaranteed. Our range of custom antenna solutions can be engineered to the defined bands, orbits and interfaces of your specific mission requirements.

  • Sovereign Gateways & National Infrastructure

    Sovereign Gateways & National Infrastructure

    Governments and defense ministries increasingly require satellite communications infrastructure that is nationally controlled, independently operated, and built to the highest standards of security and resilience. Sovereign gateway infrastructure ensures access to satellite capacity remains under national control; a growing requirement across NATO and partner nations. Our sovereign ground systems are developed for government and defense, by US and European engineering teams experienced in their respective national program requirements. With seamless integration into existing architectures, our systems meet the security, compliance, and operational standards that sovereign programs demand.
