Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• CGI Federal: IT systems integrator with a sizable space, defense and intelligence practice serving NASA, ESA and national agencies; comparable in the systems-integration and mission-IT layer that OHB Digital Services targets.
• Indra: Spanish IT and defense systems integrator with significant space, air-traffic and railway-cyber exposure; relevant because it competes with OHB Digital Services on transport digitalization and defense-cyber programs across Southern Europe.
• Maxar Technologies: Large space and Earth-intelligence company combining satellite manufacturing with imagery and geoanalytics; comparable to OHB Digital Services in the data-analytics and mission-operations layers, with a broader commercial footprint.
• Airbus Defence and Space: Larger European space prime that competes with OHB on Galileo, Copernicus, Meteosat and other EU flagship programs; relevant because OHB Digital Services' ground-segment and digital work packages frequently sit inside broader Airbus-led or Airbus-shared contracts.

Direct peers

• GMV: Spanish-headquartered space IT and ground-systems specialist focused on satellite control centers, navigation, defense and cybersecurity; one of the closest functional comparables to OHB Digital Services given its embedded-software, GNSS and secure-systems overlap.
• Thales Alenia Space: Joint venture between Thales and Leonardo that builds satellites and space systems for ESA and European institutions; competes directly with OHB on navigation, Earth observation and exploration programs and is a natural comparator for OHB Digital Services' ground-segment and data-services work.
• Telespazio: Joint venture between Leonardo and Thales providing satellite operations, geo-information and digital services; competes with OHB Digital Services in satellite operations, Earth-observation data services and institutional digital platforms.
• Kongsberg Satellite Services (KSAT): Operates a global network of ground stations and provides near-real-time satellite data services; comparable to OHB Digital Services on the ground-segment and Earth-observation data-services layer of the value chain.

Others

• OHB System AG: Sibling subsidiary inside OHB SE that owns the satellite platforms and missions (Galileo, SAR-Lupe, LISA); included as the natural internal customer for OHB Digital Services' ground-segment, embedded-software and operations work.

Emerging players

• Planet Labs: US/NewSpace Earth-observation operator offering satellite-based geospatial data and analytics on a subscription basis; relevant comparator for the data-services and geoanalytics ambitions inside OHB's DIGITAL segment.
