Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the UK's satellite communications capacity.
This question was answered on 30th January 2023
Current operational capacity demands are actively managed and assessed on a monthly basis to ensure that Defence’s requirements are continuously met. Future capacity needs are extensively modelled and subject to regular review, which informs the on-going SATCOM delivery programmes.
In formulating this response, it is assumed that ‘communications capacity’ refers to bandwidth.
