Drones are quickly being recognized as the most transformative technology in modern warfare. What began as simple reconnaissance platforms has evolved into a massive ecosystem that supports surveillance, warfare, electronic sensing, and frontline communication. This shift is already happening in conflicts such as Ukraine, where small, inexpensive drones are now as common as armored vehicles.
The satellite communications industry is entering a decisive transition: Direct-to-Device (D2D) connectivity, often described as Satellite-to-Phone, Tower-to-Device (T2D), and Network-to-Device (N2D), is moving from early demonstrations to scaled, operational deployments. As operators pursue 3GPP-aligned 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) and D2D service models, the limiting factor is increasingly not the spacecraft but the ground segment RF
