Resilient connectivity across the battlespace

Defence and Security decision makers depend critically upon the support of technology, tools and systems to ensure readiness and preparedness to anticipate and respond to events and missions. 

Airbus Secure Communications have been working with militaries worldwide for over forty years, together building a wealth of experience in delivering, operating and maintaining communication solutions for military and defence users – on the ground, in the air, at sea and in space. We offer the broadest portfolio of services available today for military and defence customers – from mission-specific solutions based on usage needs, to the creation of complete end-to-end systems, along with the services and support that keep them fully operational.
