It is progressing testing the OBRIA constellation\ncapabilities according to plan. It will support technical testing intended to\ninform the design of the operational system, advancing OBRIA towards a\nUkrainian national infrastructure. \n\nDependence on technologies from other countries, including partner countries,\ncreates strategic risks, particularly during wartime.

It is an\nopportunity to lay the foundation for an independent communications network\nfor Ukraine.
