Our Head of Global Business Development, Service Partners, Kim Gram, joined a session at Confederation of Indian Industry International Conference on Space 2025 last week. His panel, “Enhanced Focus on the Complementary Dimension of the Space – Defence Relationship” discussed India's push to strengthen space assets for defence applications and how the integration of space-based technologies for surveillance, communication, and intelligence is poised to not only enhance operational readiness but also catalyse deeper private sector involvement.

One of the biggest themes from the session was the need to build technologies based on real operational situations. Kim highlighted our participation in the EU funded European Protected Waveform program, which has the specific purpose of achieving secure communication between troops and assets for the purpose of safety and efficient operations. As Kim pointed out, this could be a good model for India, and other nations, to follow.
