Kratos Awarded Contract to Deliver OneWeb Spectrum Monitoring System for its LEO Satellite Constellation
April 25 2022 - 8:00AM
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: KTOS), a
leading National Security Solutions provider, announced today that
it has been awarded a contract to deliver an advanced spectrum
monitoring system for OneWeb to monitor, analyze and review the
utilized spectrum to support high quality of service for its fleet
of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations.
The system will monitor the spectrum used
between its global network of Satellite Network Portal (SNP)
gateways and its constellation of LEO satellites. The OneWeb
Spectrum Monitoring System (OSMS) will help staff monitor, manage
and analyze this spectrum, the radio frequencies that satellite
signals travel over.
“With our fleet of LEO satellites that will
deliver on our mission to provide space connectivity around the
world, it is critical for us to monitor and manage the RF spectrum
to ensure that we are delivering on our service performance
targets,” stated David Price, Vice President, Access Layer Program
at OneWeb. “We are working with Kratos, experts in RF monitoring,
measurement and analysis to design, build and integrate the system
into our ground operations.”
The OSMS will incorporate Kratos’
industry-leading, integrated spectrum monitoring capabilities to
enable real-time management of Radio Frequency (RF) usage and to
monitor compliance with frequency transmission regulations. As part
of the contract, Kratos is responsible for designing, developing,
and installing the OSMS and integrating the system with OneWeb’s
ground segment.
At the heart of the OSMS LEO monitoring
solution, Kratos will deploy a big data processing, storage and
analytics platform for satellite operations. The system will
retrieve, store, and access the spectrum traces captured at each
antenna during a satellite pass. The RF data across all gateway
sites will be consolidated through the OSMS to enable OneWeb’s
Network Operations staff to centrally monitor, review,s and analyze
the spectrum.
“The OSMS is being built to address the need to
monitor very fast-moving LEO satellites and scale to the needs of
OneWeb’s fleet of satellites. The Kratos technology used in the
OSMS can retrieve, process, and store the high volume of data at
almost one gigabit per second on the ground,” explained Bruno
Dupas, President of Kratos Communications in France. “Kratos and
OneWeb are working together to successfully deploy the OSMS, one of
the most advanced spectrum monitoring systems for LEO
constellations in the industry.”
