"Airborne SAR Communication System"


Explanation:
The term "Airplane-Satellite-Ground" does sound a little Chinguish to me! However, it may be the best way to express "机-星-地" within the given context.

However, after reading more from the given ref. Chinese website (written in English), I found a description of their so called "Airplane-Satellite-Ground" system is an "Airborne SAR" system,
(SAR is one type of satellite system), so may be the alternative for describing this "Airplane-Satellite-Ground" system could be
"Airborne SAR Communication System"
