Airbus Defence and Space, a developer of satellite systems, secure communications, and space-based solutions for government and commercial customers worldwide and Greenerwave have announced the strengthening of their partnership through the expansion of their collaboration, following the first contract announced at the Paris Air Show (Salon International de l’Aéronautique et de l’Espace du Bourget) in June 2025, in the presence of the French Minister for the Armed Forces.
This new stage is marked by the signing of two additional contracts with a total value of several million euros, broadening cooperation between the two companies. The agreements focus on the development of technological solutions for end customers, including the French Armed Forces.
Through these agreements, Airbus Defence and Space is enhancing its satellite communications (SATCOM) solutions by leveraging Greenerwave’s flat-panel antennas, designed for multi-orbit capability and low power consumption. The solutions are intended for use across operational environments.
“The strengthening of our partnership with Airbus Defence and Space marks a major milestone for Greenerwave. It demonstrates the relevance of our satellite communication solutions in demanding environments, where performance, energy efficiency, and flexibility have become strategic requirements. These new contracts also reflect our tangible contribution to French and European technological sovereignty” said Geoffroy Lerosey, President and co-founder of Greenerwave.
"This strategic partnership between Airbus Defence and Space, leveraging over 50 years of expertise in the secured satellite communication domain, and Greenerwave, a leader in innovative multiband antennas, represents a major advancement in the emergence of a new generation of terminals for defence applications. Together, we will offer an end-to-end and disruptive solution, enhancing the capabilities of the French armed forces. Through this collaboration, we guarantee them secure and resilient access to critical data, regardless of the operational situation and across all environments (air, land, sea). This alliance illustrates our shared commitment to placing innovation and technological sovereignty at the heart of our missions," said Eric Even, SVP, Head of Space Digital at Airbus Defence & Space.
One of these contracts falls within the Copernic procurement contract, a 10-year framework agreement led by the French Defence Procurement Agency (DGA), aimed at providing the French Armed Forces with satellite communication capabilities. The partnership relates to communication solutions developed in France for defence applications.
