About this listen

In this episode of What’s New in New Defence, we examine how space has become a core component of European security and modern multi-domain defence. Commander of the Finnish Air Force, General Timo Herranen, discusses the expanding role of sovereign space capability, the integration of space data into operations and the increasing strategic importance of the Arctic and Nordic region.

Ville Meskus from ReOrbit broadens the discussion to Europe’s industrial and technological sovereignty, highlighting how adaptable, software-defined satellites and flexible supply chains are transforming resilience and mission continuity.

Together, the conversation shows why Europe must accelerate space capability development, strengthen cooperation and leverage commercial innovation to remain competitive in an era where space directly shapes deterrence, situational awareness and operational effectiveness.
