France launches state-of-art military communications satellite

France has successfully launched a state-of-the-art satellite into a route, designed to allow all of France’s fortified forces across the globe to communicate fleetly and securely.

Paris created a space force command in July 2019, amongst enterprises that rival countries were heavily investing in space technology, seen as a new military frontier.

The satellite “ is designed to repel military aggression from the ground and in space, as well as a hindrance,” French air and space force spokesperson Colonel Stephane Spet told AFP.

The Ariane 5 rocket carrying the Syracuse 4A satellite took off from Kourou, in French Guiana late on Saturday, with the charge fulfilled 38 twinkles and 41 seconds after takeoff.

The satellite can survey its close surroundings and move itself to escape an attack.

“ Thanks to its state-of-the-art outfit (anti-jamming antenna and digital transparent processor onboard), Syracuse 4A will guarantee a high resistance to extreme jamming styles,” launch provider Arianespace wrote in its charge description.

Marc Finaud, an expert in munitions proliferation at the Geneva Centre for Security Policy, told AFP the satellite was also defended against the electro-glamorous beats which would affect by a nuclear explosion.

“ This is the final warning script if deterrence fails,” he added.

In March, France began its first military exercises in space to test its capability to defend its satellites, calling them “ a first for the French army and indeed a first in Europe”.

The French government accuses Russia of having brought its intelligence-gathering satellite Olymp-K, also known as Louch, into close propinquity of the French-Italian military satellite Athena-Fidus in 2017, in what Defence Minister Florence Parly called “ an act of spying”.

Last Time, the US claimed that Russia had conducted an anon-destructive anti-satellite munitions test from space.

In March, French President Emmanuel Macron’s office said there had been other analogous incidents since but gave no details.

Investments in France’s space programme are set to reach4.3 billion euros ($ 5 billion) over the 2019-2025 budget period — although that’s a bit of the quantum spent by the United States or China.
