Aireon Cyber Security

Approximately half of the world’s airspace relies on Aireon’s space-based ADS-B technology for aircraft surveillance. Founded in 2011, Aireon provides real-time global air traffic monitoring anywhere on Earth. This service leverages Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) receivers, specifically designed for space, installed on each of the 66 satellites in Iridium NEXT—the second-generation satellite constellation by Iridium. These satellites form the backbone of Aireon’s advanced surveillance capabilities.

Between January 2017 and January 2019, eight Iridium satellites were successfully launched on SpaceX Falcon 9 rockets. Iridium’s next-generation constellation continues to deliver innovative solutions and new opportunities while maintaining high performance and reliability for the foreseeable future.
