Applications

7.9.1 Proliferated LEO Constellations — Deploying large numbers of small defence satellites in low Earth orbit to distribute risk, saturate adversary kill chains, and maintain persistent coverage under contested conditions.
7.9.2 MEO/GEO Hybrid Networks — Combining medium-Earth and geostationary orbit layers into a single defence network to trade off latency, coverage persistence, and survivability across the threat spectrum.
7.9.3 Resilient Communications Backbones — A sovereign multi-orbit satellite communications architecture that keeps command-and-control links alive when terrestrial networks and single-orbit layers are degraded or destroyed.
7.9.4 Cross-Domain Interlinks — Laser and RF crosslinks that stitch LEO, MEO and GEO nodes into a single coherent battle network, eliminating dependence on terrestrial relay hops.
7.9.5 Distributed Sensor Architectures — Spreading heterogeneous sensing payloads across dozens of orbital nodes so no single kill or jamming event blinds the force.
