The order builds on Kymeta’s existing work with multiple branches of the Defense Department and follows several other multimillion-dollar contracts. With the latest award, the company said it has now delivered more than $30 million in terminals and connectivity services to the same unnamed DoD branch in 2026.
The Osprey u8 terminals are paired with Kymeta Broadband services that provide connectivity through geostationary and low Earth orbit satellites. Kymeta said the systems can switch between transmission-security, or TRANSEC, and non-TRANSEC networks.
The terminals use a ruggedized enclosure and a low size, weight and power configuration. Kymeta said the Osprey u8 is battle-tested and designed to maintain always-on performance in challenging operating conditions.
Kymeta said its systems support a PACE communications approach covering primary, alternate, contingency and emergency connectivity. The company is also moving toward what it calls AutoPACE, which is designed to remove the need for manual switching between connectivity sources through an intelligent communications platform.
“This order is an affirmation from the military community that Kymeta can deliver on its promise to provide dependable connectivity for mission-critical operations,” said Manny Mora, CEO of Kymeta. “With our partners across national security, we are continuing to build steady and solid momentum as a trusted and valued partner.”
The company said its work with multiple Defense Department branches reflects its focus on providing resilient connectivity to distributed forces operating in contested and rapidly changing conflict zones. Kymeta said its satellite communications solutions are now available to U.S. forces for operational requirements.
The specific Defense Department branch receiving the systems was not disclosed because of security considerations. Kymeta said the latest order strengthens its position as a provider of multi-orbit flat-panel antennas across the DoD.
