Kratos Defense & Security Solutions announced today a defense contract valued at over $20 million to deliver mobile satellite communication gateways for a Defense Network in Asia. Through this award, the company enhances secure connectivity capabilities for international military customers.
Around the world, fixed communications infrastructure faces increasing vulnerability from emerging threats. Recent global conflicts demonstrate that stationary satellite facilities suffer targeting and disruption easily.
Additionally, modern military operations face denied electromagnetic spectrums and damaged public networks. These harsh operational conditions highlight an urgent requirement for defense forces.
Organizations need mobile SATCOM gateways to maintain secure communications during main system failures. Consequently, these mobile platforms provide real-time situational awareness across every active Defense Network.
Rapid Deployment Features and Advanced Hardware Integration
As a core system component, Kratos delivers its rapid-deployable Trifold transportable antennas. Field personnel install these truck-mounted systems fast without requiring any specialized tools. Additionally, the team can move these antennas at any given point of time without much fuss.
Kratos integrates these Trifold antennas directly into the mobile hub. This setup delivers high-throughput, dependable communications for any active Defense Network operating in dynamic field environments. The complete turnkey system incorporates a tactical shelter housing advanced baseband platforms and monitoring software. Specifically, the installation features Kratos’ Compass software for complete network monitoring and control.
Additionally, the system includes Kratos’ Monics platform for spectrum monitoring and signal interference detection. Together, these technologies form a resilient mobile gateway for every tactical Defense Network.
Expanding Global Presence and Leadership Perspectives
This contract strengthens Kratos’ market position as a primary provider of transportable antennas and ground system technologies. Furthermore, the program expands the company’s footprint across the Asia-Pacific region. Kratos solidifies its role in delivering resilient communications equipment for any modern Defense Network.
“This capability is ultimately about giving operators on the ground what they need most: dependable communications they can count on in the middle of fast-moving missions,” said John Chay, Vice President of Business Development in Asia, at Kratos. “When fixed infrastructure is compromised, this mobile gateway lets warfighters stay connected, aware, and supported wherever the mission takes them.”
Ultimately, these mobile satellite gateways ensure warfighters maintain constant connectivity across the entire Defense Network. Commanders gain critical data streaming even when operating in contested field environments. Thus, Kratos continues supporting mission readiness for every frontline Defense Network worldwide.
