Kratos Announces Acceptance of Advanced Space Radio Monitoring System by the Regulatory Authority of the Sultanate of Oman
July 13 2017 - 7:00AM
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq:KTOS), a
leading National Security Solutions provider, announced today that
The Regulatory Authority (TRA) of the Sultanate of Oman has
formally accepted the Advanced Space Radio Monitoring System
(ASRMS) from Kratos. The multi-million dollar project started in
late 2014 and includes ten years of long-term support services for
the ASRMS system.
The most advanced system of its kind, ASRMS is a
unique satellite monitoring and geolocation solution specifically
developed to help Satellite Frequency Regulators identify
authorized and unauthorized satellite communication signals, manage
the satellite spectrum used in their respective countries, and
provide for improved cooperation with other telecommunications
regulatory agencies.
Working with TRA, Kratos was responsible for
virtually every aspect of the system including the core satellite
technology and associated hardware and software. ASRMS includes
several Kratos antennas covering UHF/L/S/C/X/Ku/Ka frequency bands,
a mobile vehicle providing analysis capabilities for both
earth-to-space and space-to-earth signals and an unmanned aerial
vehicle (UAV) spectrum analysing solution.
Kratos’ Monics® carrier monitoring, satID®
geolocation, Compass® network monitor & control (M&C) and
NeuralStar®SQM service management products are integrated with the
Antennas/RF system to provide an end-to-end solution that is
integrated with TRA’s frequency management system that manages all
the spectrum licenses.
Additionally, Kratos managed the build-out of
the extensive civil works (housing, road access, power, water,
etc.) needed to support the system.
With a user friendly graphical interface based
on automated procedures and advanced tools, ASRMS eases regulator
management of the satellite RF spectrum over their countries
including known and unknown transmissions.
“Satellite spectrum is a national security asset
that can be subject to unauthorized usage, interference and other
threats,” said Eng. Yousuf Al Balushi, Vice President-Spectrum
Management Affairs. “The ASRMS will enable us to better manage,
monitor and geolocate satellite radio frequency transmissions over
the Sultanate with operations automated for MEO and GEO satellites
in all bands.”
“Systems such as ASRMS are becoming increasingly
important to satellite frequency regulators as multi-beam HTS
satellites and LEO satellites make spectrum more congested, more
challenging to track satellite communications (SATCOM) signals and
more critical to the management of the spectrum in use in their
countries,” said Bruno Dupas, President of Kratos Integral Systems
Europe, which was the Kratos operating unit that provided the ASRMS
system.
