Protecting Satellites And Critical Services Ahead Of Schedule
The UK’s new space defence system, Borealis, has become operational six months ahead of schedule, significantly enhancing the country’s ability to monitor, track, and protect satellites and critical services. The system, delivered through a £65 million contract with CGI UK, provides the National Space Operations Centre with faster and more accurate intelligence on space activity. This development is part of the UK’s largest sustained increase in defence spending since the Cold War, as reported by Public Sector Executive.
