Thales Alenia Space<\/b> will build an Earth observation constellation with radar and optical sensors for the Indonesian Ministry of Defence<\/b> (MoD), under a deal announced Thursday. State-owned technology company PT Len <\/b>awarded Thales the contract and will operate the Defense Satellite System for MoD sovereignty requirements. <\/p>\n
The satellites will be built on the existing Thales radar and optical offering. Telespazio will contribute to the ground segment. In addition, PT Len will develop a multi-mission ground segment system to provide control, maintenance, data processing, and analytic functions for the Defense Satellite System.<\/p>\n
PT Len is also signing a deal with BlackSky to give the MoD access to its high revisit Earth observation constellation. This service will provide satellite-based intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities for the MoD and Indonesian National Armed Forces while the Thales constellation is being built. <\/p>\n
\u201cThales Alenia Space, which has a long history of working with Indonesian satellite operators, is honored to be given the opportunity to work on a crucial program for the Indonesian Defense Ministry for the first time\u201d said Herv\u00e9 Derrey, CEO of Thales Alenia Space. \u201cLeveraging our long-standing expertise in Earth observation, we are proud to celebrate a new milestone towards Indonesia\u2019s sovereignty and safety needs, providing a one-of-a-kind integrated optical and radar system.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
