OHB Digital Connect Completes Upgrade of Military Ground Stations for Bundeswehr

OHB Digital Connect GmbH, a subsidiary of OHB SE, has completed the upgrade of military ground stations for the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw). The project involved replacing the existing technology of mobile ground stations with modern satellite communications hardware for the SATCOMBw system, enabling step-by-step modernization and return to the Bundeswehr.

The final batch of four refurbished ground stations was handed over during a closing ceremony at Eifelkaserne in Gerolstein, marking the successful completion of the project. This upgrade ensures that the Bundeswehr's mobile ground stations are equipped with state-of-the-art technology, enhancing their operational capabilities.

The contract was awarded to OHB Digital Connect, which had expanded its capabilities through a merger with Mainz-based antenna manufacturer MT Mechatronics, now part of the OHB Group. This collaboration marked the beginning of more intensive cross-site teamwork, leveraging combined expertise in satellite communications and antenna technology.
