Technology capabilities needed:
Network intelligence- Authorities rely on lawful interception capabilities to
conduct legally permissible investigations of suspects, in accordance with
warrants or court orders. As satellite communications becomes more prevalent,
it will be critical for law enforcement to leverage advanced and comprehensive
network intelligence solutions that can connect not only to standard gateways
but also support new communications technologies, such as satellite. Solutions
that can enable investigators and analysts to rapidly transform vast amounts of
data into meaningful intelligence, and generate court-compliant evidence, will
be ever more crucial.
Operational intelligence- Tactical teams can gather valuable intelligence in the
field on criminals who are using traditional satellite communications services,
such as Iridium, Thuraya and Inmarsat, by using operational intelligence
solutions. As satellite internet and satellite-cellular convergence become
mainstream, operational intelligence solutions that can support these new
communications technologies will be essential.
Satellite communications- Satellite technology can also be a valuable tool for
law enforcement’s own use. The EU has launched an initiative to build the IRIS2
Satellite Constellation as a sovereign alternative. IRIS2, which is planned to be
fully operational by 2027, is meant to fill gaps in internet blackspots and allow
European governments, intelligence agencies and militaries to communicate
securely. It will also support border surveillance, crisis management and secure
communications for EU embassies
