The Royal Canadian Navy will trial the All.Space Hydra 4, a multi‑band, multi‑orbit mobility terminal, in shore‑based SATCOM experiments intended to inform near‑term naval SATCOM architecture decisions. The tests will evaluate Hydra 4's ability to operate across LEO/MEO/GEO links and support Canadian defence communications planning.
