From Space Race to New Space: Advancing Satellite Missions
This is the first episode in a four-part series on Space and Satellite Technologies and Applications. In the next four episodes, we will discuss how the industry is evolving, the challenges ahead, and what is next for aerospace defense applications.For millennia people have gazed toward the night sky with dreams of the unknown in the final frontier. From the space race to SpaceX, development in the aerospace industry has accelerated like no other.Listen as Phil Lorch, Director of Space and Satellite Mission Assurance Solutions at Keysight Technologies, discusses the rapid pace of innovation in space tech. Systems in the lower earth orbit (LEO) are actively in development and deployment stages, removing traditional barriers and enabling enhanced communications and intelligence from space. In turn, the line between space and traditional electronic warfare has really become blurred. What does this mean for the future?Join us as we discuss:The transformation and evolution of the aerospace and satellite industry from new tech to commoditizationPhased array technology and satellite connectivityHow embracing the future of space exploration enables improved intelligence-gathering capabilities, better communication, and sustainable growth

Next-Gen EMSO: Integrating 5G into Military Systems- Part 2
This is part 2 of our conversation with Bryan Clark. In this episode we get into next-gen EMSO and integrating 5G into military systems. If you missed part 1 have a listen here.The electromagnetic spectrum is getting more challenging as more people — civilian and military — begin to operate in it. In the spectrum, managing conflicting use cases is difficult. One of the most significant conflicting cases today? Fifth generation, or 5G, technology. According to today’s guest, Bryan Clark, Senior Fellow at Hudson Institute, there are two options when it comes to 5G. Either it needs to be de-conflicted by the US military forces or the government needs to shift its mindset to embrace 5G for its many opportunities and applications in the EMSO environment.Join us as we discuss:The role of 5G in potentially revolutionizing US military operationsTangible, specific military use cases and the importance of careful infrastructure integration Golden Horde concept, vehicle-to-vehicle communication, non-terrestrial networks, the metaverse and beyond Links to resources discussed in this episode: eBook: Engineering for Advanced Radar and Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations
