15 May 25. It’s Cool to Pool. You might not have heard of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation’s (NATO’s) Satellite Communications Services Sixth Generation initiative, also known as NSS6G. Neither had your editor until a few weeks ago. For the uninitiated, NSS6G is pooling the alliance’s sovereign military satellite communications capabilities. The initiative has been around for a while, commencing in January 2020. Nonetheless, Brussels commenced NSS6G with little fanfare. The project involves France, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States. Luxembourg and Spain joined at the start of the year. The latter is making her SpainSat-NG1/2 military communications satellite constellation available to NSS6G. The constellation, and the role it will play, is the subject of this month’s SpainSat NG-1 to Support NSS6G article.
NSS6G members will make sovereign military SATCOM bandwidth available to NATO members as requested through the alliance’s Communications and Information Agency. This will help NATO nations sans secure, resilient, sovereign SATCOM access such capabilities via other alliance members. Robust SATCOM is always in demand and there is simply never quite enough to go around. Nonetheless, initiatives like NSS6G are important steps towards ‘democratising’ military SATCOM access.
NATO has shown it can pool resources in a host of areas from inflight refuelling to airborne early warning, command and control, and ground-based air surveillance radar. Combining SATCOM resources for the good of the alliance is likewise an important effort from which all NATO members can benefit. (Source: Armada)
13 May 25. SpainSat NG-1 to Support NSS6G. A Falcon-9 rocket zooms aloft into space from the Kennedy Space Centre in Cape Canaveral, Florida carrying the SpainSat-NG1 military communications satellite on 30th January. More details have come to light concerning how Spain’s SpainSat-NG1/2 satellites will support the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation’s alliance-wide satellite communications architecture. The satellites were designed and built by Airbus’ defence and space subsidiary. The first of the two spacecraft, SpainSat-NG1, will be delivered to Spain’s armed forces during the second half of 2025, according to Airbus. The satellites, which provide secure communications, are based on Airbus’ Eurostar Neo bus. Airbus continues that the satellites offer X-band (7.9 gigahertz/GHz to 8.4GHz uplink/7.25GHz to 7.75GHz downlink) links. The first satellite was launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida on 30th January onboard a SpaceX Falcon-9 rocket. Airbus continued that the second satellite, SpainSat-NG2, is currently undergoing testing at Airbus’ satellite preparation facilities in Toulouse, southwest France. Alongside Airbus, Hisdesat, is involved in the satellite’s research, development, production and deployment. Airbus said that the active electronically scanned array antenna used by the satellites provide the equivalent capacity to 16 traditional X-band antennas. X-band links are reserved exclusively by the International Telecommunications Union for military SATCOM. However, SpainSat spacecraft also provide Ultra High Frequency (399 megahertz/MHz to 470MHz) and Ka-band (26.5GHz to 40GHz uplink/18GHz to 20GHz downlink) connectivity.
NSS6G
The SpainSat constellation will form part of NATO’s SATCOM Services 6th Generation (NSS6G) initiative. Nusret Yilmaz, NATO’s Communications and Information Agency’s (NCIA) SATCOM service area owner, told Armada that the NSS6G will provide secure and resilient communications across the alliance. Commencing in January 2020, the initiative involves France, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States. NSS6G will provide these SATCOM services for a 15-year period concluding at the end of 2034. At the heart of the project is the provision of SATCOM connectivity to alliance members from the military communications satellites owned by these nations. In January 2025, Luxembourg and Spain joined NSS6G and Spain will provide SATCOM bandwidth using the SpainSat constellation. Hisdesat will initially furnish this provision to NSS6G via SpainSat-NG1. Interestingly, Dr. Yilmaz disclosed that this satellite will also be able to geolocate “sources of unwanted signals disturbing satellite communications.” This electronic warfare capability could prove useful in locating hostile electronic attack signals targeting SATCOM links. Ostensibly, NSS6G is intended to support NATO operations and exercises, notes Dr. Yilmaz. Nonetheless, “allied nations can also request satellite communication services from NATO, via NCIA. Each request will be assessed by the appropriate NATO bodies, and upon approval, NCIA will provide the requested services.” The allocation of SpainSat-NG1 to the NSS6G initiative is a welcome step. Secure satellite communications for NATO’s militaries can be a bottleneck in alliance capabilities. It is entirely possible that other nations join the NSS6G initiative in the coming years, making their sovereign military SATCOM capabilities available. When they do, this will serve to deepen alliance-wide satellite communications provision still further. (Source: Armada)
13 May 25. Enhancing Fleet Comms. The French Navy aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle is one of several surface combatants that will receive the enhancements enshrined in the new RIFAN-3 configuration of the French Navy’s internet protocol communications system. The Marine Nationale has embarked upon an important enhancement of its internet protocol communications infrastructure. In late February, Airbus’ defence and space consortium was awarded a contract worth $519 m to upgrade the force’s Réseau Internet Protocol de la Force Aéronavale (French Naval Aviation Force Internet Protocol Network) known as RIFAN. An Airbus press release articulated that the contract will have a ten-year duration. The contract covers the third iteration of RIFAN (RIFAN-3) and work will commence from 2026 and conclude in 2032. A total of 80 French Navy ships will receive the RIFAN-3 enhancements including surface combatants and submarines.
SATCOM Links
Airbus also led the earlier RIFAN-2 endeavour which commenced in 2012 and concluded four years later. RIFAN-2 rolled out a fleet-wide IP network using conventional Very/Ultra High Frequency (30 megahertz to three gigahertz/GHz) bearer networks. These networks were supplemented by Satellite Communications (SATCOM) capabilities provided by the Airbus/Thales Syracuse-4 constellation. Open sources note that the two satellites in the constellation, Syracuse-4A/B, provide X-band (7.9 gigahertz/GHz to 8.4GHz uplink/7.25GHz to 7.75GHz downlink) and Ka-band (26.5GHz to 40GHz uplink/18GHz to 20GHz downlink) channels. RIFAN-2 also began using commercially available SATCOM to provide these conduits. Alongside providing the architecture RIFAN-2 added network management and cybersecurity provision. RIFAN-2 involved Rohde & Schwarz and Naval Group in addition to Airbus. RIFAN is operated by the French Ministry of Defence’s Direction Interarmées des Réseaux d’Infrastructure et des Systèmes d’Information (Joint Network Infrastructure and Information Systems Directorate).
An Airbus spokesperson told Armada that the company will provide hardware and software germane to the overall RIFAN-3 requirement. In addition, Airbus is responsible for RIFAN-3’s “system design authority, network engineering and management, network communication chain management, line-of-sight communications (and) telephone over internet protocol” services. Naval Group will perform the physical integration of the RIFAN-3 hardware and software onboard the French Navy vessels. This will include integrating the RIFAN-3 capability with a vessel’s combat management system, and internal and external communications, the spokesperson added. Alongside SATCOM and conventional V/UHF communications, RIFAN IP traffic will also move across High Frequency (HF: three megahertz/MHz to 30MHz) links. The French Navy is currently overhauling its HF communications via the HF XL initiative. Point-to-point data rates of circa 15 megabits-per-second are expected to be achievable via RIFAN-3.
RIFAN-3 is not happening in a vacuum and is part of a wider overhaul of French military strategic, operational and tactical communications. As Armada reported in the past, this is being led in the land domain by the Contact programme, for which Thales is the prime contractor. It is axiomatic that both RIFAN-3 and Contact will facilitate significant levels of inter-force connectivity as well as enhancing intra-force communications. In common with all North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) members The French military is embracing NATO’s Multi-Domain Operations mindset. RIFAN-3 represents an important step in this direction and the overall RIFAN architecture will no doubt experience future enhancements beyond those enshrined in this latest contract.

14 May 25. Designed for Demand. PhoenixC4i has developed its Dark Sky clip-on antennas in three specific designs, including the vehicle-mounted configuration shown here. The British Army is continuing its evaluation of a new antenna design that could help to extend the range, and improve link quality, for the force’s tactical communications. The British Army is evaluating PhoenixC4i’s Dark Sky clip-on antennas to enhance land forces communications. The company says that several antenna types, including vehicle-mounted and mast-mounted configurations, comprise the product family. The antennas have been realised to provide a significant increase in range vis-à-vis existing transceiver performance, while having a lightweight construction that can be quickly assembled. Using an agnostic design, the antennas can outfit existing army radios. The force began evaluating the Dark Sky antennas as part of the British Army Warfighting Experiment in 2021. According to the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence the Warfighting Experiment enables the army to experiment with emerging technologies and ascertain the tactical contribution these innovations could provide. These experiments help inform later army procurement decisions. Further experimentation was performed by the army’s Land Warfare Centre, and Communications and Information Systems Trials and Development Unit, in 2021 and 2022. A PhoenixC4i spokesperson told Armada that the Dark Sky antennas can cover frequencies of 200 megahertz up to three gigahertz. These wavebands enable the antennas to work with the majority of the Very/Ultra High Frequency (V/UHF: 30MHz to three gigahertz) transceivers used by the British Army manoeuvre force. The spokesperson continued that the overall Dark Sky architecture uses specific beamforming techniques. These techniques ensure the antennas can provide significant enhancements in transceiver performance. Improvements include a doubling of the baseline communications range provided by the radio. Alongside range improvements, the antennas enhance the overall link quality within a network, the spokesperson continued.
Switch Beam Antenna
The Dark Sky antennas are currently at Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) Seven and Eight. The United Kingdom’s Science and Technology and Facilities Council, a government organisation, states that TRL-7 denotes that a technology has been demonstrated in an operational environment. TRL-8 determines that the technology’s development has been completed and qualified through test and demonstration. Further innovations are on the horizon for the Dark Sky antennas as evaluations with the army continue. These innovations include the addition of an electronically steerable antenna and a Switch Beam Antenna (SBA). SBAs are distinct from electronically steerable antennas. According to an article published by Cyntony an SBA typically includes several directional antennas covering a 360 degree area which can form several pre-set propagation patterns. Beams can be pointed in a desired direction by the specific antenna within milliseconds transmitting the desired waveforms.
Dark Sky antennas could also equip fixed command posts. The antenna’s architecture ensures they can produce highly directional, switchable beams providing increases in range and link quality vis-à-vis standard transceiver antennas.
Once development is complete, PhoenixC4i says the antennas will be made available for acquisition and the Dark Sky product family could form a key part of the army’s ongoing modernisation of its tactical communications. This modernisation is focused on the extension of the life of the army’s existing Bowman tactical communications, and command and control system. The army also has an existential requirement to eventually replace Bowman enshrined in the troubled Project Morpheus initiative. Other army capabilities include the Fenix Banshee BTR backpack which provides ad hoc battlefield cellular connectivity. Should a Dark Sky acquisition go ahead, these antennas could equip the architecture which replaces Bowman in the future. (Source: Armada)

New Radios for the Netherlands
L3Harris has concluded a long-term agreement with the government of the Netherlands to supply the company’s Falcon-IV series tactical radios. According to a press release, the contract is worth over $1.1 bn and forms part of the Dutch Ministry of Defence’s (MOD’s) Foxtrot programme. Foxtrot will transition the Dutch military into a Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) capable force according to reports. The company told Armada that several radios from the Falcon-IV family will be supplied. These include AN/PRC-160, AN/PRC-163 and AN/PRC-167 transceivers. In terms of the numbers of radios to be delivered, L3Harris stated that “the programme is intended to support 8,000 vehicles, 3,500 soldiers, 135 vessels and 170 aircraft” across the Dutch armed forces. The company declined to provide timelines for the radios’ delivery, although it stressed that “L3Harris is ready to support Netherlands deliveries and needs now and over the long term.” It added that “(o)ur software-defined radios have the capability to support customer-specified customisations, including (the) incorporation of bespoke waveforms.”
Telesat and Viasat Collaborate
On 7th April Telesat announced that it had signed a “substantial multi-year contract” with Viasat, according to a Telesat press release. Viasat will incorporate Telesat’s Lightspeed Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite Communications (SATCOM) services into the former’s defence services portfolio. Telesat’s Lightspeed LEO services will also be integrated into Viasat’s aviation, maritime and enterprise offerings. The company said that its Lightspeed LEO SATCOM offers high-speed, low latency broadband services. Telesat’s defence and government Lightspeed services use zero-trust network access architectures. This helps to ensure high cybersecurity standards. The company told Armada that the agreement means that Lightspeed services will be accessible with Viasat user terminals. Moreover, “(e)very point on Earth is covered by Telesat Lightspeed, including polar regions, expanding the geographic reach of Viasat’s services … Additionally, latency-sensitive applications will have an optimised experience over the Telesat Lightspeed constellation.”(Source: Armada)

15 May 25. ELT Group is participating in the European Defence Innovation Day 2025, which take place in Krakow from 14 to 16 May. The event, organised by the European Defence Agency (EDA) together with – National Armaments Directorate – III Reparto, is focused on innovation in the defence sector. During the event, ELT Group will present ‘ESA-SCAN’ (6-channel SCANning EW receiver based on integrated photonics): this project have been co-funded by the Italian Ministry of Defense within the framework of the National Military Research Plan (PNRM – Piano Nazionale di Ricerca Militare), managed by the National Armaments Directorate. ELT Group is the leader and is supported by CNIT (National Interuniversity Consortium for Telecommunications). The system consists of a 6-channel receiver connected to an equal number of antennas that transmit signals via optical fibre, thus lighter, immune to electromagnetic interference, and with the aim of minimising signal losses. Currently, the research and development activities, which the company started years ago, and which are now supported by the PNRM programme, have focused on the creation of integrated photonic circuits; the final roadmap envisages the realisation of the aforementioned photonic boards. In its broadest vision, the project represents a revolutionary technological leap for the Elt Group’s ESM (Electronic Support Measure) systems, thanks to the switch from microwave to photonic circuits, a change that allows a broadening of the bandwidth and, therefore, the possibility of acquiring and handling more information. In addition, the system benefits from the features of a reduced SwaP (Size, Weight & Power). This technology ushers in a new technological era of Electronic Warfare, which is crucial in today’s conflicts characterised by the need to handle large amounts of data. These new system architectures, in fact, combined in the future with the possibilities granted by Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, will be essential to successfully execute complex multi-domain missions in EMSO (ElectroMagnetic Spectrum Operation) and support decision-making more effectively. The technology is platform agnostic, also suitable for unmanned aircraft due to its small size.
13 May 25. Taiwan-South Korea: Multi-stage cyber operation highlights long-term security risks. Earlier on 13 May, the cyber security company Trend Micro reported that the China-nexus group ‘Earth Ammit’ conducted a multi-phase cyber operation between 2023 and 2024. The campaign consisted of two phases (‘VENOM’ and ‘TIDRONE’) and infiltrated high-value targets (such as military and satellite organisations) in Taiwan and South Korea via supply chain attacks. During VENOM, Earth Ammit exploited software vulnerabilities to access trusted software service vendors and steal user credentials. Throughout TIDRONE, the group used stolen credentials to pivot into targeted customer environments, highlighting the premeditated nature of this campaign. VENOM primarily employed open-source tools (likely in an attempt to complicate attribution efforts) while TIDRONE relied on custom malware, showcasing the dynamic evolution of this operation. This report underscores the long-term nature of China’s cyber strategy as it pertains to Southeast Asia. It also highlights the long-term security risks facing high-value sectors; China will highly likely continue to leverage cyber operations amid geopolitical tensions. (Source: Sibylline)

12 May 25. Global: Fraudulent AI tools point to elevated information-theft, financial risks. On 10 May, international news outlets reported that threat actors are using fake generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools to distribute a new information-stealing malware (‘Noodlophile’). The threat actors advertise the tools on high-visibility groups via social media to trick victims into visiting fraudulent websites. Victims then receive a .ZIP archive (purporting to contain requested AI-generated content) after visiting threat actor-controlled websites. Subsequently, the archive covertly installs Noodlophile onto compromised systems, allowing threat actors to exfiltrate sensitive user and financial data from web browsers. The perpetrators likely intend to use this stolen data to hijack user accounts and to initiate fraudulent money transfers. Noodlophile typically executes directly into a system’s memory to evade detection, showcasing the sophistication of the threat actors’ capabilities. The malware can also be purchased on the dark web as part of an X-as-a-Service (XaaS) model, elevating the information-theft and financial risks stemming from fraudulent generative AI tools in the short-to-medium term.

09 May 25. Cyber Update Key points.
- A series of ransomware attacks against several UK-based high-profile retailers elevate long-term reputational and operational risks from the cyber criminal group ‘Scattered Spider’ (see Sibylline Cyber Daily Analytical Update – 6 May 2025).
- A new Phishing-as-a-Service (PhaaS) platform (‘Darcula’) underscores increased security and financial risks to Android and iOS users (see Sibylline Cyber Daily Analytical Update – 7 May 2025 and our Technical analysis below).
- The exploitation of a zero-day vulnerability (CVE-2025-29824) underscores security, operational and financial risks posed by the ransomware group ‘Play’ (see Sibylline Cyber Daily Analytical Update – 8 May 2025).
- A new phishing campaign showcases the financial, information-theft and security risks stemming from the software supply chain (see Sibylline Cyber Daily Analytical Update – 9 May 2025 and our Technical analysis below)
Technical analysis of weekly stories
A new large-scale Phishing-as-a-Service (PhaaS) platform (Darcula) has been targeting global Android and iOS users in a financially motivated campaign since at least 2023. Darcula comprises a main phishing toolkit component (‘Magic Cat’) which enables its affiliates to manage phishing campaigns, request additional information and store and administer stolen data. The campaign distributes phishing text messages (smishing) impersonating delivery and road toll services to trick victims into clicking on a malicious link. The malicious link then redirects victims to a spoofed page where threat actors request sensitive information and coerce victims into paying a fee. The messages can be sent as SMS, RCS or iMessage, highlighting the sophistication and potential reach of this campaign. Darcula affiliates reportedly use subscriber identity module (SIM) farms to broaden the scope of a campaign and centrally manage phishing operations via a Telegram group, showcasing the complexity of this operation. Furthermore, the malicious links can only be opened on mobile devices, hindering security analysis and underscoring the sophistication of Darcula’s detection evasion capabilities. The newest Darcula variant contains a generative artificial intelligence (AI) feature intended to automate and enhance the phishing process, highlighting the kit’s consistent evolution.
Unnamed cyber criminals have been conducting a financially motivated and information-theft campaign against global employees since at least July 2024. Threat actors use malvertising to trick users into clicking on fraudulent advertisements; the advertisements emulate several legitimate workforce management platforms (such as HR management tools and payroll services) and redirect victims to an actor-made phishing website displaying a login pop-up. Threat actors then exfiltrate user credentials to attempt to log into the victim’s legitimate user account, subsequently requesting two-factor authentication (2FA) codes to covertly hijack the account. The page displays an error message after purporting to authenticate victims, allowing it to appear legitimate. While the pages also display alternative login methods (such as Google and QR code sign-in), these options are disabled to force victims into manually entering their credentials. The threat actors also use web sockets to establish persistent communication with command-and-control (C2) infrastructure, automating the account takeover process. The phishing websites’ code is heavily obfuscated and contains several anti-analysis features, underscoring the actors’ detection evasion capabilities.
Non-exhaustive recommendations to mitigate against these threats include:
- Monitor devices and networks for suspicious activity
- Add available Indicators-of-Compromise (IoCs) to your organisation’s security detection systems to detect potentially malicious samples on the network; configure firewalls to block outbound communications to malicious IP addresses associated with any known malware
- Adopt behaviour-based end-point detection and response (EDR) solutions, prioritising the detection of the initial stages of a compromise
- Conduct cyber hygiene awareness courses for users, enabling them to recognise and report phishing and other types of social engineering
