Sovereign Satcoms Face Data-Security Challenges as Nations Reassert Control Governments are moving to assert national control over satellite communications to secure sensitive data and operations, but defining 'sovereign' space architectures and implementing secure, interoperable systems across fragmented commercial and allied networks remains unresolved. Policy, technical and supply‑chain trade‑offs complicate rapid fielding of hardened satcom capabilities.
