The Space Systems category explores how orbit is becoming a decisive domain in modern defense. It covers military satellites, reconnaissance constellations, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), global navigation systems, and space-based ISR capabilities. This section looks at launch platforms, resilient communications from orbit, and the growing role of space assets in integrated warfare. From early warning against missile threats to battlefield connectivity and persistent surveillance, we highlight the technologies that extend military power beyond Earth’s atmosphere.
