Building Agile Defence Communications for the Future Force at DSEI 2025

Agile defence communications are critical, because missions rarely unfold in predictable conditions. Threats evolve, priorities shift, and operations can move from planning to deployment in hours. Staying ahead demands communications networks that can be rolled out fast, adapt to changing requirements, and keep information flowing securely, wherever the mission leads.

The era of relying solely on fixed, rigid network installations is over. Whether adapting to changing battlefield demands, operating in challenging environments, or enabling collaboration across allied forces, today’s infrastructure must be as dynamic as the missions it supports.

That means:

Scalable – Systems that grow with operational needs

Re-Deployable – Solutions for rapid set-up anywhere

Resilient – Networks that maintain performance under pressure

From Fixed Networks to Flexible Infrastructure

For fibre networks in particular, this shift calls for a new approach. Portable, reusable fibre systems are enabling faster rollouts, reduced downtime, and greater operational flexibility, without compromising on quality.

This is something we’ve seen first-hand through work with defence customers. From enhancing communications across military airbases to supporting temporary deployments during training exercises, agility has become a non-negotiable requirement. So too has the need for interoperability and collaboration between units, across domains, and with industry partners.
