Five European ANSPs Join Iris Pilot Program
The Iris program is a partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA), led by Inmarsat, to establish secure, high-bandwidth communications over Europe.

Global satellite communications provider Inmarsat has signed agreements with five major air navigation service providers (ANSP) in support of the Iris program, which aims to modernize air traffic management across Europe. The groups—Germany’s DFS, ENAIRE (Spain), ENAV (Italy), NATS (UK), and Eurocontrol MUAC (consisting of Northwest Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands), which together handle the majority of European air traffic—will join an initial operational capability pilot, marking a milestone in the implementation of Iris.
