Kymeta terminals were chosen for their combat capabilities and ease of use. They are designed taking into account the needs of a modern military serviceman and provide full-duplex data transmission, that is, they can simultaneously receive and transmit a signal through one aperture. Osprey u8 provides multi-orbit connectivity as well as geostationary (GEO), as well as to low-orbital ones (LEO) satellite groups, having a modular design based on replaceable cartridges, designed to quickly adapt to changing mission requirements.
Supporting multiple data channels, including commercial and government networks, the terminal reduces dependence on any one source, prioritizing secure interaction and business continuity even in degraded environments, making it a valuable resource for critical missions.
The US Army's NGC2 pilot project highlights the importance of distributed units remaining mobile in increasingly data-driven operations. Kymeta technology, based on metamaterials and software-defined functions, such as proprietary guidance and tracking systems, provides increased efficiency and productivity for communication on the go (COTM) and beyond-line-of-sight communication (OTH), thereby increasing the force's ability to maneuver and maintain survivability on the battlefield.
Another critical advantage of Kymeta technology is significantly lower power consumption compared to similar solutions in the industry. This makes it an ideal platform for communication on the go (COTM) and helps reduce the thermal signature compared to competing technologies. This is reduced heat release, combined with other characteristics of low probability of detection and interception (LPD/LPI), such as a low profile and narrower beam width, allows the Osprey u8 to remain less visible when operating in hazardous environments.
