Defence & Security

Deploying advanced satellites
to meet evolving security needs.

Innovation supporting defense and security requirements

Space is getting increasingly contested, congested and challenged – especially as low-earth orbit capabilities continue to flourish. Most Western societies are rushing toward a software-defined future, one where networks are unified, and platforms are cloud-connected.

For militaries, the fight is shaped by code and connectivity, as much as steel.

Space enables modern societies and networks to function through connectivity, observation, positioning, navigation and timing.

Staying ahead of adversaries requires understanding the operating environment, including denied, degraded, intermittent and limited-bandwidth conditions.

For decades, Space Norway has managed and developed space capabilities supporting Norway’s strategy to be the go-to nation in the High North.

We will continue to innovate and deliver advanced satellite solutions for the evolving defence and security needs of Norway, its allies and partners, ensuring seamless, reliable connectivity, persistent multi-domain situational awareness and trustworthy Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT), while exploring space-based support for other warfighting functions.
