Airbus - 2022 Universal Registration Document

1. Information on the Company’s Activities / 1.1 Presentation of the Company

The programme line is divided into five programme units: Intelligence, Secure Communications, Cyber Security, Special Security programmes and Secure Land Communications. Intelligence : provides data-driven systems, services and solutions for trusted information and insights, and is a lead supplier of ISR, air defence and land command and control solutions to France, Germany and NATO. Imagery is derived from Airbus’ state-of-the-art satellite constellation. Intelligence provides systems enabling command and control, real-time data fusion and predictive analyses, as well as comprehensive systems based on sovereign cloud infrastructures for the defence segment. It also offers data-driven solutions for various commercial segments, including environmental protection, agriculture and maritime, as well as the delivery of site security services in Germany. Secure Communications : supplies governmental satellite communications, offering multi-domain secure connectivity, satellite connectivity systems and services for armed forces, notably for UK, France, Germany and NATO, providing secure communications at sea, on land and in the air. Cyber : designs, develops, integrates and deploys tailored cyber security products and solutions for defence, governmental and institutional customers, and provides operational support all along the system lifecycle. As the aerospace and defence industries continue to grow in scale, digitalisation and interconnectivity, the platforms and systems become increasingly susceptible to cyber-attacks. With security breaches increasing continuously in volume and sophistication, considerable resources are devoted today to keep these systems safe. Special Security Programmes : supports border security. Secure Land Communications : supplies secure and resilient communication and collaboration solutions to provide information, intelligence and situational awareness to users. It helps public and private organisations around the world, such as police and special forces, fire brigades, medical and emergency services, oil and gas, energy and utilities, transports, among others, to carry out their public and critical missions. Products and Services Intelligence is a recognised actor in geospatial data provision and defence intelligence as well as a lead supplier of ISR, Air Defence and Land Command and Control solutions. Intelligence manages one of the world’s largest satellite fleets, comprising a total of 14 satellites, with 3 radar (TerraSAR-X, TanDEM-X and PAZ) and 11 optical (2 Pléiades, 2 Pléiades Neo, SPOT 6, SPOT 7, Vision 1 and 4 DMC). Following the Vega C launch failure in December 2022, the Pléiades Neo constellation only includes 2 instead of 4 satellites. Despite the launch setback, the constellation is already delivering at full scale and the company remains committed to continue delivering high quality earth observation services. All satellite images are available on the OneAtlas digital portal for both archive and tasking. Through Intelligence, Airbus is also part of the transatlantic team developing technical concepts for NATO’s Future Surveillance and Control capabilities. In 2022, Intelligence successfully deployed three Pléiades Neo Direct Receiving Stations in Japan, Czech Republic and in Saudi Arabia and launched WorldDEM Neo, the updated solution providing global digital elevation models at very high resolution.

Secure Communications is the European leading provider of secure communications services, bringing together the most comprehensive satellite communications services and systems, and best-in-class secure network services and solutions. It provides governments, military forces and international agencies with mission-critical voice and high-speed data communications on land, at sea and in the air. One example is the UK’s Skynet 5 programme, where Airbus Defence and Space delivers tailored end-to-end in-theatre and back-to-base communication solutions for voice, data and video services, ranging from a single voice channel to a complete turnkey system incorporating terminals and network management. This contract, pursuant to which Airbus Defence and Space owns and operates the UK military satellite communication infrastructure, allows the UK MoD to place orders and to pay for services as required. In 2022, Secure Communication acquired new business by signing contracts with some European Ministries of Defence to provide satellite communications for a 15 year period. The Armed Forces will utilise the channels of the Airbus Ultra High Frequency (“ UHF ”) military communications hosted payload on-board the EUTELSAT 36D telecommunications satellite scheduled for launch in 2024. With this new payload, Secure Communications will be able to offer a new UHF communications service to the armed forces, particularly those of European countries and NATO allies. In 2022, Airbus Defence and Space successfully concluded the 19 year delivery of the Skynet 5 Private Finance Initiative in the UK and secured the 18-months Skynet Service Continuity contract. In Germany, Secure Communications continued to secure business in the domain of SATCOM-Bw Stage 2 and started positioning itself for future opportunities in this domain. It also secured new business in France with the ASTEL S5 frame contract. Cyber : the portfolio encompasses broad expertise in cyber project management, including crypto and key management systems, security gateways, network and endpoint protection, aerospace multi-messaging systems, detection and response chain, and cyber attack simulation platforms. Having protected Airbus Defence and Space complex systems and networks for over 30 years, this programme is leveraging the Airbus DNA to develop products and solutions for customers facing similar challenges, based on state-of-the-art trusted technologies. Cyber security is a very dynamic sector and the company strategy aims at ensuring the group and its ecosystem benefits from the best possible protection. In line with this ambition, Airbus Protect was launched in 2022, bringing together more than 1,200 experts from Airbus CyberSecurity (Airbus Defence and Space subsidiary) and APSYS (Airbus subsidiary), under Airbus commercial control. Cybersecurity activities for defence and space programmes and major customers such as operators of vital importance remain within Airbus Defence and Space. They will continue to provide solutions and lead major integration projects around high-level technologies such as cryptography and cyber defence, in line with the growth ambitions of the years to come. Secure Land Communications (“ SLC ”) offers advanced mobile communication and collaboration solutions with the highest standards of security and reliability to Public Safety organisations and enterprises. The Agnet solution is based on the latest 4G/5G broadband technologies and includes voice communication, messaging and multimedia sharing as well
