Europe is looking for a Starlink replacement for Ukraine after Musk’s restrictions, - Axios

Problems with Starlink have prompted European countries to more actively seek their own satellite communications systems that will not depend on the decisions of a single American billionaire.

Finnish companies ICEYE and Nokia have already agreed with Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense to study the possibility of creating independent satellite communications. The first satellites are planned to be launched in 2028 year.

French company Eutelsat is also offering an alternative: its OneWeb network includes more than 600 satellites, and the company’s services are already available in Ukraine and could potentially be used for drones.

Why this matters: Starlink provides critically important connectivity to Ukrainian military forces, including control of some drone systems. Any restrictions could directly affect the combat capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

At the same time, SpaceX has more than 11 thousand satellites, so it will be extremely difficult for European competitors to quickly and fully replace Starlink.

Европа ищет замену Starlink для Украины после ограничений Маска, - Axios

Проблемы со Starlink заставили европейские страны активнее искать собственные системы спутниковой связи, которые не будут зависеть от решений одного американского миллиардера.

Финские компании ICEYE и Nokia уже договорились с Минобороны Украины изучить возможность создания независимой спутниковой связи. Первые спутники планируют запустить в 2028 году.

Французская Eutelsat также предлагает альтернативу: её сеть OneWeb насчитывает более 600 спутников, а услуги компании уже доступны в Украине и потенциально могут использоваться для беспилотников.

Почему это важно: Starlink обеспечивает критически важную связь украинским военным, включая управление некоторыми беспилотными системами. Любые ограничения могут напрямую влиять на боевые возможности ВСУ.

При этом у SpaceX более 11 тысяч спутников, поэтому быстро и полностью заменить Starlink европейским конкурентам будет крайне сложно.

👀 In the U.S., researchers created an AI drone that autonomously pursues a person in a forest without GPS or operator communication Researchers at Purdue University taught an unmanned aerial vehicle to follow a running person, weave between trees, and keep the target in sight even when obstacles block it. The drone does not need GPS, a pre-made map, or cloud computing. It builds its own map of the area, predicts the person’s movement, and makes decisions in milliseconds to avoid crashing into t...
