Kratos wins $20M contract to deliver mobile SATCOM gateways
As part of the system, Kratos will deliver its rapid‑deployable, truck‑mounted Trifold transportable antennas, which are integrated into the mobile SATCOM hub that provides high‑throughput, dependable communications in dynamic field environments.
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, a US-based technology company in defense, national security and global markets, has announced that it has been awarded a contract valued at more than USD 20 million to deliver mobile satellite communication (SATCOM) gateways for a defense customer in Asia.
As part of the system, Kratos will deliver its rapid‑deployable, truck‑mounted Trifold transportable antennas, which are integrated into the mobile SATCOM hub that provides high‑throughput, dependable communications in dynamic field environments, Kratos said in a press release.
The turnkey system also incorporates a shelter containing baseband platforms and advanced monitoring software, including Kratos’ Compass product for complete monitor‑and‑control (M&C) of mission‑critical networks, and Kratos’ Monics product for spectrum monitoring and interference detection.
“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.”
