Instituto de Telecomunicações advances space and defense systems through research in secure communications, radar, sensing, and resilient network architectures. Its space-ready expertise was strengthened by the successful development, launch, and operation of a cubesat mission, providing hands-on validation of critical technologies. Building on this experience, IT contributes to satellite platforms, Earth-observation missions, and defense-grade systems, reinforcing Portugal’s role in strategic aerospace and security innovation. |
