Ovzon has received, through Viasat Government Services, its first order for Ovzon Pegasus service on the new Ovzon 3 satellite. This represents the transition from current Ovzon SATCOM-as-a-Service delivered to the U.S. Department of Defense (U.S. DOD) using leased satellite capacity to now utilizing Ovzon 3. The order is for twelve months and the service was activated on August 1, 2024. The order value amounts to approximately 6.2 MUSD. This order, specific to U.S. DOD requirements, replaces the previous eight-month contract that was signed in December 2023. The Ovzon 3 satellite was launched in January 2024. After the conclusion of successful in-orbit tests the satellite entered into commercial service on July 5, 2024. Ovzon offers world-leading integrated mobile satellite communications services, SATCOM-as-a-Service, to customers globally. The services combine high throughput satellite networks, mobile satellite terminals, gateway services, and dedicated customer support. Ovzon’s offerings meet the growing demand for mission critical connectivity for customers with high performance, mobility and resiliency requirements such as Defense, National security and Public safety. In January 2024, Ovzon’s proprietary developed geostationary satellite Ovzon 3 was successfully launched from Cape Canaveral, FL. Founded in 2006, Ovzon has offices in Stockholm, Sweden as well as Herndon, VA and Tampa, FL in the USA. Ovzon is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm Small Cap. #military #defense #defence #militaryleak https://lnkd.in/gvDYkDQG

BAE Systems has been awarded multiple contracts worth $111 million to supply the Republic of Korea (ROK) with second-generation anti-jam, ultra-high frequency radios featuring the SATURN waveform. This initiative is a crucial part of Korea’s national communications modernization strategy, aimed at enhancing secure and interoperable command and control capabilities for both fixed-wing and rotary aircraft. The SATURN (Second-generation Anti-jam Tactical UHF Radio for NATO) waveform is designed to meet the demands of modern sophisticated battlefields, offering fast frequency hopping capabilities. BAE Systems’ next-generation software-defined radios will leverage SATURN’s advanced waveform to provide timely and accurate communications, vital for decision-making in the field. “In today’s complex and contested battlefields, superiority on the ground, in the air, and at sea is mission critical,” stated Dave Logan, Vice President and General Manager of C4ISRS at BAE Systems. “This tailored solution for the Republic of Korea will equip its forces with state-of-the-art, secure, and modern communications for a variety of tactical missions while allowing them to maintain interoperability with the U.S. and coalition partners.” The ARC-232A, a SATURN-capable software-defined radio, is designed to be upgradeable, small, and lightweight, making it more difficult to jam in complex threat environments. These radios provide optimal receiver sensitivity under severe conditions and offer a broad range of configurations to counter potential threats. With more than 100,000 radios deployed globally, BAE Systems’ communications products are known for their reliability, offering nearly double the dependability of legacy systems. The production of these radios will take place at BAE Systems’ state-of-the-art facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana. BAE Systems will supply the ARC-232A radios to Korean manufacturer LIG Nex1 for final assembly, testing, and aircraft integration. This collaboration underscores the importance of advanced, secure communications in maintaining military superiority and interoperability among allied forces.

Orbit is proud to announce a major milestone! We have secured a $9.1 million contract from the Israel Ministry of Defense to provide our innovative #SATCOM Multi-Purpose Terminals (MPTs) for mobile and on the pause roll-on/roll-off ground platforms. In an interview with EDR Magazine & EDR Show Dailies, Dany Eshchar, Orbit's CEO, shared: “One of the main issues with line-of-sight (LOS) communications is jamming. It is easy to block communications when using VHF/UHF radios, jamming disrupting the C2 function.The second issue is that in a combat area crowded with many players, the RF spectrum becomes tight, interferences threatening good comms among vehicles, therefore more resilience is needed. SATCOM are inherently less subject to jamming, therefore having them as a backup solution allows to considerably increase resilience and lower the change to lose comms with the higher or lower echelon. Not only SATCOM are more resistant to jamming, but our systems also allow customers to switch from one band to another and from one constellation to another, which makes them even more resilient.” Read more insights on the SATCOM market, and Orbit's future plans - https://lnkd.in/eJCRDep4 #satellite #landplatforms #defense #military
