With the advent of low-cost launches and the advancement of technology, it is now possible to deploy small military communication payloads which can be used autonomously by nations of modest means for the security of their realm. Such platforms can also be used for bespoke functions, for example, to fill in a gap by providing simple communication channels while the main satellite is being developed.
