Diagram of multi-domain military satellite communications (MILSATCOM) connecting satellites, UAVs, ground terminals, tactical vehicles, and naval ships across a battlefield.

One Architecture. Many Missions.

Space is Essential to Modern Operations. Ground Systems Must Keep Pace.

As Missions Expand, Legacy Ground Limits Scale and Agility

Modern MILSATCOM is moving toward ground systems that anticipate change rather than react to it. Kratos OpenSpace® provides a virtual architecture designed to scale, adapt and evolve in step with the mission enterprise.

Unified Virtual Architecture

Replaces mission‑specific stovepipes with a flexible, software‑defined ground system that operates seamlessly across multiple MILSATCOM missions.

Rapid Mission Agility

Enables faster deployment and reconfiguration so ground systems can adapt quickly as threats and mission requirements evolve.

Scalable Multi-Mission Operations

Expands capacity and capability across missions, delivering resilient, enterprise‑level scalability for modern MILSATCOM demands.

Virtualized Ground

Modernize legacy hardware-centric ground systems with software-defined infrastructure.
