The Goshawk u8s open architecture seamlessly integrates LEO, GEO, and cellular connectivity to ensure secure, sovereign defence operations.
Kymeta has announced that it is now accepting orders for the Goshawk u8 user terminal, designed specifically for government and defense applications. As allied nations prioritise secure and resilient communications, the Goshawk u8 provides a crucial solution for rapidly deployable, sovereign defense operations.
The Goshawk u8 integrates multi-orbit, multi-network satellite communications within a single terminal, combining Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Geostationary Orbit (GEO) satellite technologies with cellular connectivity. This advanced capability enhances responsiveness for maneuver warfare tactics, enabling rapid and adaptable military operations.
With an increasing focus on securing sovereign satellite communications infrastructure, the Goshawk u8 is designed to support data-centric, cloud-enabled defense operations. It ensures uninterrupted connectivity for defense and government users, providing operational confidence in mission-critical scenarios.
Rick Bergman, CEO and President of Kymeta said: “At Kymeta, we are relentless in our mission to empower those who protect and serve nations and communities. In a world where secure and independent communications are non-negotiable, the Goshawk u8 will provide government and defense users the freedom to operate with confidence. The Goshawk u8 comes at a time of heightened global demand for trusted, sovereign communications solutions, as governments, including the DoD and defense organisations, look to strengthen operational resilience amid an increasingly complex security landscape.”
Following extensive partner trials with positive feedback, the Goshawk u8 has demonstrated its value and innovation in real-world applications. Demand continues to grow among the Department of Defense and global militaries, driving interest in Kymetas cutting-edge Intelligent Communication Platforms (ICPs) for mission-critical environments.
Compact, lightweight and easy to install, the Goshawk u8 seamlessly integrates across various vehicles and vessels, ensuring reliable, redundant connectivity for real-time multinational defense operations. Designed for mobility, it mitigates jamming risks in GNSS-denied environments and supports high-bandwidth applications such as video streaming, data transmission, and voice communications, even in remote locations.
