Airbus announces that it has signed a contract with the Belgian Ministry of Defense to provide tactical satellite communications services for a 15-year period, thanks to a new UHF communications service scheduled for launch in 2024.

The Belgian armed forces will use the payload channels hosted by Airbus' UHF (ultra high frequency) military communications on board a commercial communications satellite manufactured by the aircraft manufacturer.

'UHF military satcoms are used by armed forces for operations on land, at sea and in the air. They have a high level of interoperability and are therefore very useful for multinational and coalition operations', underlines Airbus.
