PANEL: Delivering UK MilSatCom at Pace

MilSATCOM is evolving quickly as commercial space delivers new levels of capacity, agility and speed to field. At the same time, defence users must retain sovereign control over assured access, security and resilience. This panel explores how governments can balance commercial innovation with sovereign requirements-what should be owned or controlled nationally, what can be procured as services, and how hybrid approaches can deliver assured communications at pace. The discussion will highlight practical trade-offs across capability, risk, resilience and long-term control, followed by audience Q&A.
