European Union Seeks UK Participation in IRIS² Satellite Network
EU hopes to include Britain in next-generation secure communications project
The European Union is in discussions to include the United Kingdom in its IRIS² satellite constellation project, aimed at establishing a secure and independent communications network across Europe.
The initiative would enhance connectivity and data security while reducing reliance on non-European systems.
Negotiators say UK involvement could strengthen cooperation in space technology and bolster shared defense and cybersecurity goals.
