How Location Tracking Service Enhances Asset Security with Thuraya-4
As the landscape of defense operations grows more complex and unpredictable, the need for reliable, discreet, and flexible tracking of assets and personnel has never been more critical. With the launch of Thuraya-4, Space42 has introduced a new standard in situational awareness through its Location Tracking System (LTS) a secure, satellite-powered platform for persistent visibility in the most challenging environments.
LTS is more than just a tracking tool. It enables real-time positioning, encrypted messaging, and collaborative mission mapping across four terminal types: Personnel, Vehicular, Maritime, and Aeronautical. Built to serve high-security government and defense clients, LTS offers visibility where it matters most, even when users are deep in the field and beyond traditional communication infrastructure.
Discreet by Design
Unlike standard GPS trackers or commercial mobile platforms, LTS is engineered to operate with low power signatures and encrypted transmissions. This makes it difficult to detect, intercept, or jam, offering an added layer of protection in electronic warfare environments. Each terminal sends position updates and alerts via the Thuraya-4 satellite, ensuring end-to-end coverage and operational reliability.
The system also supports emergency alerts, visual geofencing, and tactical markers that can be shared across teams in real time. Field operators can flag enemy activity or send distress signals directly from their device, while command centers receive live mission updates on digital maps.
The Power of Thuraya-4
What makes LTS so effective is the satellite backbone behind it. Thuraya-4’s dynamic beam shaping, expanded regional coverage, and advanced interference mitigation give LTS terminals uninterrupted service across Europe, MENA, Africa, and Central Asia.
The satellite’s ability to allocate power to priority zones ensures that LTS terminals remain functional during mission surges or regional crises. Combined with sovereign key management and military-grade encryption (AES-256), the system keeps data secure from end to end.
Tailored to Mission Needs
Each LTS device has been custom-designed based on operational requirements from field users. Personnel trackers are lightweight and wearable; vehicular units integrate seamlessly with defense platforms; maritime and aero variants are built for movement and durability in extreme environments.
With over 60 hours of battery life, compatibility with defense mission software, and intuitive user interfaces, LTS terminals are as practical as they are powerful. The system is already deployed with key government agencies and is shaping the future of coordinated field operations.
Sovereign Infrastructure, Global Impact
One of the defining aspects of LTS is its sovereign-grade design. All data is processed and controlled through UAE-secured infrastructure, ensuring national control over location and mission data. The system also avoids third-party dependencies or cloud-based vulnerabilities.
With growing demand for secure situational awareness in coalition and cross-border operations, LTS provides a trusted platform that scales with operational complexity; whether for border patrol, maritime security, or special operations.
The Future of Situational Awareness
As warfare and defense logistics become more mobile and data-driven, solutions like LTS will be critical. They turn static location data into actionable intelligence, enabling faster response, better resource allocation, and safer outcomes.
Through Thuraya-4, Space42 is enabling governments and defense agencies to monitor, adapt, and operate with confidence, even in the most remote or hostile environments.
LTS isn’t just about knowing where things are. It’s about knowing what’s happening and staying one step ahead.
