Inmarsat Government, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Inmarsat, is launching a new satcom datalink service for transmission of reconnaissance imagery. The L-band Airborne Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (LAISR) service is designed for government customers and has already completed airborne testing.
