Featured case studies

Iridium: the next-generation satellite handset of the future

The new satellite constellation, a $3 billion project, is the largest technology upgrade ever to take place in space: a total replacement of the legacy satellite network.

    Portable OnBoard 3D

    The Portable On Board Printer 3D's goal is the transfer of Additive Manufacturing Technology to 3D-print for spacecraft applications.

      Sampson radar

       We developed an integrated set of tracking algorithms for a multi-function radar.

        Sparkle

        We created a complete interactive replica of a real aeronautic factory which can be monitored and controlled in a virtual reality environment.

          CEDA earth observation

          Capgemini Engineering (Tessella) developed a new visualisation service for CEDA (Centre for Environmental Data Archival), to bring Earth observation data to life.

            Sun Cloud

            We designed and developed a solar-powered, multi-purpose unmanned aerial vehicle, the Sun Cloud.

              The challenge

              With security concerns and investments occupying centre-stage across the world, the defence industry is under strong pressure to modernise its capabilities. Meanwhile, the space industry is undergoing an industrial reorganisation, while space exploration, debris recycling and tourism open up new perspectives. Together with new client needs – like protection from cyber attacks – and the emergence of non-traditional competitors, these developments are putting intense pressure on existing players in the global defence and space value chain.
