Airbus to Equip Satellites for UHF Military Communications

Airbus will place a dedicated UHF (Ultra High Frequency) military communications hosted payload on board the EUTELSAT 36D telecommunications satellite.

As the UHF frequency band is a relatively scarce orbital resource, this offering will make up for the capacity shortage around the world.

Airbus has already signed the first firm orders for this capacity, well ahead of the satellite’s scheduled launch in the first half of 2024.
