Satellite communications (Satcom) are critical elements for defence, security, humanitarian aid, emergency response or diplomatic communications. They are a key enabler for civil and military missions/operations in particular in remote and austere environments with little or no infrastructure. Governmental Satellite Communications has been defined as one of the four capability development programmes by the European Council in December 2013. The mandate is to prepare the next generation of satellite communication (2025 timeframe).
