Abstract
Autonomous and remotely controlled ships operating in the Arctic area will need the connectivity that cannot be provided with the current systems. This study concentrates on investigating what kind of satellite communication system is needed for reliable operations in the defined area when the main application is a drone-assisted situational awareness system for the autonomous ships. The conducted work defines communication architecture and the constellation needed for reliable communications. The results show that the defined mega-constellation system is able to meet the throughput and coverage requirements.
