When it comes to mission-critical communications for defense entities the stakes are undeniable. The need for secure, resilient, and uninterrupted communications has never been more vital. From emerging cyber threats to intentional interference, the challenges facing MILSATCOM networks demand innovative and robust solutions.
Our December 12th webinar featured experts from ST Engineering iDirect and Media Broadcast Satellite (MBS) who discussed the key technologies and approaches that are transforming how organizations secure their communications infrastructure. From TRANSEC and FIPS compliance to CSIR™ interference mitigation and our 4-Series software-defined radio (SDR) modems, the audience learned about actionable strategies to enhance security and achieve operational resilience.
Why Secure and Resilient Communications Matter More Than Ever
The modern threat landscape is continuously evolving. Adversaries are exploiting vulnerabilities in satellite communications networks, from cyberattacks to signal jamming. This has heightened the demand for secure, resilient systems that can adapt to dynamic operational environments.
Whether it’s deliberate signal jamming in military operations or unintentional disruptions from crowded spectral environments, interference can severely impact operational efficiency. Our guest speakers from MBS shared real-world interference scenarios, impacts, and mitigation techniques from the field such as shifting the frequencies of the carriers and adding additional inbound carriers to compensate for the lower data rates. However, these methods are manual and reactive – validating the need for an active interference removal solution such as CSIR.
Achieving Network Resiliency Through a Multi-Layered Approach
Achieving true resiliency in MILSATCOM networks isn’t about relying on a single solution. Instead, it requires a multi-layered, integrated approach that combines the strengths of key features such as TRANSEC, FIPS compliance, interference mitigation, and SDR technology.
