NATO to build shared satellite network HALO with eight member states
NATO has formalised plans for a shared satellite network to strengthen military communications, surveillance and missile tracking. The alliance unveiled the HALO project at a NATO summit defence industry forum in Ankara, involving Denmark, Canada, Finland, Germany, Norway, the Netherlands, Sweden and Turkey. HALO aims to link national satellite systems into a single framework while countries keep ownership and control. NATO says existing dispersed networks are vulnerable and too slow for large data.
