DOW JONES–Airbus’ defense division is collaborating with German companies Rohde & Schwarz, Constellr, Orbint and High Performance Space Structure Systems (HPS) to develop a space reconnaissance infrastructure. Under the leadership of Airbus as prime contractor, the companies want to work together on a satellite-based solution for earth observation and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), as the company announced. This is intended to meet the government’s growing demand for its own European offer.
“Europe has the talent, technology and industrial base to build its own space intelligence infrastructure and has the strategic need to do so,” said Mike Schöllhorn, CEO of Airbus Defense and Space, according to the statement. The capacities of the five partners complemented each other perfectly. “Together we can provide a standalone, end-to-end solution that no single company could provide alone.”
Rohde & Schwarz supplies high-performance RF components, signal processing technologies and radar antenna systems. Orbint contributes geolocation methods, data processing algorithms and contributions to system design. HPS delivers space-grade, deployable mesh reflector antennas optimized for high-frequency Earth observation and communications payloads. Constellr provides thermal infrared satellite systems.
