Kratos Awarded $11.5 Million Contract to Build Advanced Space Radio Monitoring System to Assure Satellite Spectrum
February 27 2020 - 8:00AM
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: KTOS), a
leading National Security Solutions provider, announced today that
it was awarded an $11.5 million contract to build an advanced space
radio monitoring system for a government customer. The system will
incorporate Kratos technologies and integrated products to help the
country regulate and protect the satellite spectrum.
As part of the multi-million dollar project,
Kratos is responsible for the turnkey design, installation and
integration of the advanced space radio monitoring system including
the core satellite technology and associated hardware and software.
The system includes a fixed site and mobile unit to monitor
satellite downlinks. The scope of work includes Kratos antennas, a
satellite monitoring and geolocation solution and an Unmanned
Aerial Vehicle (UAV) spectrum analysis solution.
Kratos will deploy GeoMon, a specific
application for frequency regulators to implement ITU missions, as
well as the Monics® carrier monitoring, satID® geolocation,
Compass® network Monitor & Control (M&C) and Skyminer
ground system data analytics products integrated with the
Kratos-designed antennas/RF system to provide an end-to-end
management solution. Skyminer will enable the operators to collect
performance data across ground systems and use business
intelligence to analyze satellite measurements from both regulatory
and technical perspectives.
“The dynamic increase in capacity and
capabilities of satellites today is increasing the need for
advanced space monitoring systems to assure the satellite spectrum.
With our extensive capabilities and range of advanced products that
span virtually the full range of ground operations, from networks
to RF management to domain awareness, Kratos is uniquely positioned
to help government agencies solve the challenges of monitoring,
managing, delivering and protecting this vital national resource,”
commented Phil Carrai, President of Kratos’ Space, Training and
Cybersecurity Division.
Due to customer-related, competitive and other
considerations, no additional information will be provided related
to this award.
