Airbus to distribute Hughes HM System

Hughes Network Systems has signed an agreement with Airbus Defence and Space to expand their business partnership to serve growing tactical military communications requirements around the globe.

Airbus Defence and Space will distribute all models of the Hughes HM System, a flexible satellite networking technology engineered around its software-definable modem and scrambled code multiple access waveform.

The HM System’s ultracompact terminals operate over Airbus Defence and Space’s secure Skynet X-band military communications satellite.

Hughes will also provide hardware, technology and engineering support.
