Dear network, I am thrilled to share I am representing Tecnobit-Grupo Oesía as the main point of contact for The EU Space ISAC (Information Sharing Analysis Centre), co-chaired by the European Commission and EUSPA - EU Agency for the Space Programme. Today, 24 april 2024, was the official signature of Terms of Reference (ToR) at CYSAT event in Paris. After signature, we were having our first meeting where we were defining the first working groups. It is really an honour to be part of the founding members. There is the first, an only, picture of the Founding Members: Airbus Defence and Space, CyberInflight, GMV, infodas, Leonardo, OHB Digital Connect GmbH, Osmium, Priamos, PROMÉTHÉE Earth Intelligence, SATLANTIS, Thales Alenia Space and last but not least Grupo Oesía. If you want to know more, here is the official publication from EUSPA: https://lnkd.in/db5TwFsB Long way to go! 💪 #EUSpace #Cybersecurity #Space #Cipherbit

Very pleased to strengthen our partnership today at Eurosatory with Luis Furnells, Grupo Oesia to develop synergies across our complementary product portfolios. We are looking at a multitude of collaboration possibilities in areas such as #avionics, #space, #quantum, #securecommunications, #simulation, #airdefencesystems, #optronics, #SATCOM and #electronicwarfare. The agreement also paves the way for joint development and collaboration on #digital transformation and #cybersecurity initiatives. Thales is partnering with Spanish industry to deliver highly technological products, while bolstering the European defence industrial base and European strategic #sovereignty. Thank you to Maria Amparo Valcarce, Spanish Secretary of State for Defence, for your support in this endeavour! Spain is a strategic market for Thales. Present for more than 40 years, Thales in Spain has more than 1,000 highly specialized staff and is home to a global competence centre for Border & Travel, Security and Cybersecurity operations as well as Space competence centre through Thales Alenia Space.   Marc Darmon, Jesus Sanchez Bargos

The USSF is pushing ahead with its Commercial Augmentation Space Reserve (CASR) to integrate commercial satellites into military operations now—not just in wartime. If your company isn’t in talks yet, you’re behind. Why Engage Now? Opportunity - Be First Movers in the CASR Program: Space Force aims to award contracts soon. Companies that engage early will shape the future of military-commercial satellite integration, positioning themselves as key players in defense space operations. -         Advice: Prioritize involvement in USSF’s CASR initiative. Provide clear feedback on incentives and capabilities to ensure your tech aligns with military needs. Leverage expedited cybersecurity processes and influence contract terms that suit your business. -         Differentiator: Engaging now allows companies to lock in pre-priced capabilities and secure market share in a rapidly expanding military sector. CRG can connect you directly with decision-makers to fast-track your involvement. Opportunity - Mitigate Risk with Strategic Alliances: The Space Force is actively seeking industry feedback to balance military needs with commercial interests, including addressing denial-of-service concerns and financial protections. -         Advice: Collaborate on frameworks that align with U.S. sanctions rather than blanket denial-of-service clauses. Advocate for insurance and indemnification protections to mitigate financial risks from wartime losses. -         Differentiator: Companies that influence these terms will set themselves apart, ensuring operational security and protecting their bottom line. CRG helps clients navigate these negotiations with targeted advocacy. Opportunity - Capitalize on Threat Sharing: Space Force’s push for threat sharing will allow companies to adjust their supply chains and capabilities in real-time to meet increased demand during conflicts. -         Advice: Build flexible supply chains and long-lead item procurement strategies that align with military demand signals. Use threat data to make informed decisions that enhance your responsiveness and relevance. -         Differentiator: Firms that can rapidly pivot and expand capacity in response to threat insights will be invaluable to the Space Force. CRG guides companies in structuring these responsive supply models. The Space Force’s CASR is not just an opportunity—it’s a necessity for companies looking to lead in space defense. Don’t wait for an invitation; if you’re not already engaged, you should be talking to CRG to get in the game now.

🛰️Under the theme "GNSS MEETS FRIENDS IN NEW ORBITS - POTENTIALS AND SYNERGIES!", the space community convened last week for the annual Munich Space Navigation Summit.📡 Over three days, attendees had ample opportunities to discuss the latest advancements in satellite navigation. The agenda commenced with updates on global and regional satellite systems, followed by exploration of the new possibilities offered by LEO. Various domains such as new constellations, satellite communication—particularly the European IRIS2 initiative—and earth observation were explored for their potentials and synergies, prompting inquiries into legal aspects and potential commercial benefits. On the final day, attention turned to further technical differentiation and the array of military and civilian services offered by the European Galileo system, along with challenges posed by frequency interference. Throughout the discussions, it was evident once more that strategic resilience and robust cyber security measures are not only essential but more critical than ever. As a member of this community, I am happy to contribute to its endeavors. #Galileo #PRS #Cybersecurity #SINA

The US military has launched the Commercial Augmentation Space Reserve (CASR), a groundbreaking initiative to bolster national security by integrating commercial space #technology #into military operations. This partnership aims to enhance #cybersecurity for military and commercial satellites, addressing the growing threat of #cyberattacks from hostile nation-states. As space becomes crucial to global #infrastructure, the stakes are higher than ever. The CASR initiative seeks to leverage the advanced capabilities of the commercial sector while managing the associated risks, such as the potential #vulnerabilities of off-the-shelf components. #CyberSecurity #Space #Innovation #NationalSecurity #CASR #CommercialSpace

The More the Merrier: AVS LUR-1 to contribute to future QKD missions I am glad to read about the next steps of AVS LUR-1 mission. Its payload includes an experimental single photon receiver with potential applications in QKD. It is good to see that Spain, and hence Europe, is taking strong steps towards mastering a technology that will be strategic for our future cybersecurity https://lnkd.in/dCfWDpRp

The United States Space Force is enhancing its cyber capabilities by adding new #CyberSquads and improving #SatelliteControl. As a two-time military veteran and #astrophysicist with experience as a #CyberWarfareEngineer, I recognize the importance of these initiatives. Embedding cyber units into mission areas ensures robust protection for critical space assets. The #CyberDelta, responsible for cyber defense, is expanding to include permanent #CyberProtectionTeams, addressing both passive defense and active response. The upgrade of the #SatelliteControlNetwork, operated by #SpaceDelta6, is crucial for maintaining secure and reliable communications. The network's modernization from 1990s technology to #softwaredefinednetworks will enhance operational efficiency and resilience. This transformation, supported by a $1.4 billion contract with #BlueHalo, aims to increase communication capacity for satellites in #geosynchronousorbit, ensuring the U.S. maintains its strategic edge. These advancements underscore the necessity of integrating cyber operations with space missions. The Space Force's proactive approach in enhancing both cyber defense and satellite control capabilities demonstrates a commitment to securing U.S. space infrastructure against evolving threats. This integrated strategy is essential for maintaining national security and operational superiority. https://lnkd.in/g8eyGijN #SpaceForce #CyberSquads #SatelliteControl #CyberDelta #CyberDefense #CyberProtectionTeams #SoftwareDefinedNetworks #BlueHalo #GeosynchronousOrbit #NationalSecurity #SpaceInfrastructure #OperationalSuperiority
