The Osprey u8 terminal offers multi-orbit connectivity across geostationary (GEO) and low Earth orbit (LEO) constellations, supporting resilient data transmission in degraded or contested environments. Its modular, cartridge-based design is built for fast adaptation, helping mobile forces maintain secure communications over government and commercial networks.
Kymeta’s terminals are designed for communications-on-the-move (COTM), and feature software-defined pointing and tracking based on proprietary metamaterials technology. They also offer full-duplex data transport and significantly lower power consumption compared to other systems in the market.
“Kymeta has several technological advantages over similar solutions currently available. These advantages are rooted in our metamaterials-based architecture, which enables us to create terminals that use less power than others on the market,” said Tom Jackson, EVP Kymeta, Chief Revenue Officer and retired U.S. Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel. “Other terminal manufacturers can try to engineer around this, but they can’t replicate the technology that sits at the core of our product line. This approach to manufacturing is the exact type of innovation the U.S. Army is looking for when it seeks new technologies from the commercial market to integrate into its existing capabilities.”
“My experiences in the military equipped me with a crystal-clear perspective on how critical resilient, secure communications are to mission success,” Jackson added. “When operating in unpredictable, high-stakes environments, modern units can’t afford downtime, complexity, or systems that give away their position. This move from the U.S. Army is a clear indication that they recognize that network resiliency is no longer a nice-to-have, it is an absolute necessity.”
With lower thermal output and features such as reduced beamwidth and a low profile, the Osprey u8 is engineered for Low Probability of Detection and Intercept (LPD/LPI). Its discreet design and minimal signature make it an ideal platform for operations in hostile or high-risk settings.
