SHERIDAN, WYOMING - December 10, 2025 - Europe has taken a decisive step toward defence communications sovereignty with the successful over-the-air demonstration of the European Protected Waveform (EPW), validating a new generation of secure, resilient, multi-orbit military satellite communications across GEO and LEO.
