Satellite Communications
The Royal Signals are responsible for the provision of all of the Army's tactical satellite ground terminals which, in conjunction with the SKYNET military satellite constellation, can provide high quality, high bandwidth communications links at very short notice anywhere in the world. As well as providing operational communications all satellite ground terminals are capable of providing welfare services to soldiers on deployment.
Reacher is the new mobile X-Band satellite ground terminal (SGT) designed to replace all medium and large legacy SGTs used in the land environment.
Skynet 5 will provide all three Services with the next generation military satellite communications services.
