Gilat Defense, together with Telesat Government Solutions, ALL.SPACE, AvL, and Cobham, recently demonstrated seamless connectivity over Telesat’s LEO-3 demonstration satellite to further expand capabilities across the Multi-verse. Using low-profile, transportable user terminals, powered by Gilat Defense’s GLT‑1500 SDR modem, both tracking and data resiliency were achieved from the multi-orbit LEO, MEO, GEO capable terminals.
Designed to operate seamlessly across diverse networks, waveforms, and orbits, the GLT‑1500 SDR supports land, sea, and air missions with reliable real-time data and robust Beyond Line of Sight (BLoS) connectivity, whether on the move or on the pause.
The Army’s Next Generation Tactical Terminal (NGTT) program and the Navy’s SATCOM Terminal (transportable) Non-Geostationary (STtNG) program are investing in multi-orbit, multi-beam user terminals to improve network agility, resilience, and satellite network flexibility. The implication is clear: the ability to roam between orbits and frequencies is now an operational requirement.
Military SATCOM architectures require interoperability across national networks, enabling coalition forces to share mission-critical connectivity and maintain assured communications under joint command. Telesat Lightspeed Mil‑Ka adds an additional secure, flexible, and robust layer of interoperable capacity with persistent coverage, including the Arctic.
Gilat Defense is proud to collaborate with these industry leaders to deliver mission-critical communications to governments, defense organizations, and the warfighters they support.
