Sovereign military satellite communication (satcom) networks are evolving from closed systems to hybrid architectures that integrate commercial satellite capacity to meet growing demand. In this episode, Christopher Baugh, Partner, speaks with Luke Wyles, Analyst, about how commercial satcom services are currently procured and integrated, as well as the associated security, governance and co-ordination challenges for governments.

They discuss why secure, zero-trust orchestration is becoming central to hybrid military satcom architectures, and how this aligns with alliance initiatives such as IRIS2 and the NATO Commercial Space Strategy.
