The European Union (EU) is planning a €6 billion satellite connectivity system that would help address ‘not spots’ and ensure the continued security of sensitive communications and intelligence.
Brussels says satellite infrastructure is increasingly important to governments, industry, and society and that its space strategy must reflect new challenges and technological developments.
The proposed system would provide additional resiliency and protection for surveillance, defence, and other activities, while also ensuring uninterrupted and cost-effective connectivity for areas with poor coverage.
