Redefining Defense Communications Through SWaP-C Innovation

Session details:

Modern defense demands systems that are lighter, more efficient and capable of reliably processing and communicating critical data under extreme conditions. 

Henry Orejuela, Globalstar Head of Government Sales and Business Development, will explore how advances in satellite communications are reshaping the Size, Weight, Power, and Cost (SWaP-C) equation for defense missions. Satellite-to-device technology, spectrum innovation, and seamless integration with terrestrial and cloud networks now deliver resilient, secure connectivity to the tactical edge. These advances enable smaller, lighter, and more power-efficient systems for unmanned platforms, mobile command centers, ISR nodes, and warfighter handhelds—extending communications into remote or contested environments without adding operational burden. Jacobs will outline how SWaP-C innovation strengthens force readiness, reduces logistical strain, and embeds satellites as a core element of defense communications infrastructure.
