from What’s New in New Defence? · host Digital Defence Ecosystem Finland; Valtteri Vuorisalo

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.

Space is now central to European security. This episode explores sovereign capability, multi-domain integration and Nordic cooperation with General Timo Herranen and ReOrbit’s Ville Meskus. We discuss ISR, software-defined satellites and the growing strategic role of space in modern defence.
