Global MilSatCom 2026

About Global MilSatCom

Global MilSatCom is a defence satellite communications conference scheduled for 2-5 November 2026 at London, United Kingdom. Its scope brings military satellite communications, defence space networks, secure connectivity and government communications into one programme, giving the event a clear primary identity rather than treating every adjacent aerospace or space subject as equivalent. Global MilSatCom is built around presentations, panel or session discussions and peer and sector exchange, which clarifies what the event actually offers. For defence satcom leaders, government communications teams and military space operators, Global MilSatCom offers specialist subjects in the context of the organisations, systems and decisions that use them.

Global MilSatCom also creates useful links between military satellite communications and defence space networks, two areas that often need to be considered together in real projects. At Global MilSatCom, the venue and programme should be read together because its defence satellite communications conference format determines how the day is organised. That Global MilSatCom combination gives prospective attendees a practical basis for deciding whether the event matches their work before committing time or travel.

Event history and organiser

Global MilSatCom is presented as a continuing event family, with Global MilSatCom 2026 forming its 2026 edition. SAE Media Group is named in the current event information as the organisation responsible for, or directly connected with, Global MilSatCom. For Global MilSatCom, the year is the clearest edition marker and separates the current programme from archived material for earlier events. Across Global MilSatCom editions, the stable identity comes from military satellite communications, defence space networks and secure connectivity, while dates, venue arrangements and access details remain edition-specific. Global MilSatCom should therefore be understood through both its continuing sector role and the practical information published for 2026. SAE Media Group's relationship with Global MilSatCom identifies who sets the programme context and where attendees should look for authoritative updates. The Global MilSatCom edition at London, United Kingdom continues that identity while giving the programme a specific geographic and institutional setting.

Topics and themes

Global MilSatCom groups its subject matter around military satellite communications, defence space networks and secure connectivity. For military satellite communications at Global MilSatCom, the themes below explain practical relationships with the format and intended audience rather than repeating isolated terms.

• Military satellite communications: At Global MilSatCom, examines the spacecraft, ground and service layers that carry information reliably between users and distributed infrastructure.
• Defence space networks: At Global MilSatCom, puts technical capability alongside the rules, responsibilities and risk decisions that shape real institutional and operational.
• Secure connectivity: At Global MilSatCom, examines the spacecraft, ground and service layers that carry information reliably between users and distributed infrastructure.
• Government communications: At Global MilSatCom, places government communications within the programme so that defence satcom leaders can connect specialist work with.
• Satcom acquisition: At Global MilSatCom, examines the spacecraft, ground and service layers that carry information reliably between users and distributed infrastructure.

Who should attend?

Global MilSatCom is principally relevant to defence satcom leaders, government communications teams and military space operators. At Global MilSatCom, these groups can use the presentations and panel or session discussions to place military satellite communications alongside defence space networks and identify programme areas closest to their responsibilities. Satellite operators can assess Global MilSatCom from a different angle, using its themes to understand where their work intersects with the main professional community. Secure communications suppliers may also find a good fit where the programme addresses secure connectivity. Global MilSatCom is less useful to people seeking unrelated general-interest content because its value comes from the defined focus on military satellite communications.
