Five Eyes Connectivity episodes

  • Tactical datalinks

    In the Five Eyes Connectivity podcast special, we look at the changing face of modern warfare across the land, sea and air domains through the prism of three key technology areas: Satellite communications, line of sight data links and cybersecurity.


    In this episode, we turn to military tactical data links and look at how military planners are working to create a fully networked force where each platform sensor and operator are tied together on that highly resilient line of sight network.

    We look at upgrades to the ubiquitous Link 16 network and hear how the US Air Force plans to take the data link into low Earth orbit for even greater reach.


    And we will hear from our sponsor Viasat on how the private sector is stepping in to assist militaries develop these technology areas further.

    Welcome to Shephard Studio’s special series on Five Eyes Connectivity, sponsored by our partner Viasat.


    Over three episodes, we will look at the changing face of modern warfare across the land, sea and air domains through the prism of three key technology areas:

    Satellite communications
    Line-of-sight datalinks
    and cyber security

    We will hear from senior military leaders about the changing nature of today’s threats, and how unfettered access across the electromagnetic spectrum can no longer be taken for granted.


    We will find out about the vulnerabilities facing these critical technology areas, look at the work going on to protect military networks and hear how the private sector is stepping in to help.

    In particular, we will look at the Five Eyes grouping of countries - Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK and the US - and find out how prepared their militaries are when the connectivity they have become accustomed to is degraded or denied.

    And we will hear from our sponsor Viasat about how the private sector is stepping in to help militaries further develop these technology areas further.

    The Five Eyes Connectivity podcast will be released soon.
