According to a press release by Redwire, the US Military has provided them a contract, together with MDA, to work on the Link 16 tactical communications antenna that they will use for their contact needs. It will be in the form of a satellite that beams the connection from the Earth's orbit, and it will help provide a global service for them.

Satellite communication is something that the military has used for a long time now, and it is to provide communications from far areas and regions that do not have cell towers and connect to its headquarters. The service would expand more of the communication tools that the military has, and it will help in security and its ventures.
