Kymeta lands $20M DoD order for 100+ Osprey u8 satcom terminals

what happened

Kymeta said it received a $20 million order from the U.S. Department of Defense for more than 100 Osprey u8 multi-orbit satcom terminals, bundled with connectivity services on its Kymeta Broadband (KBB) network spanning GEO and LEO. Kymeta did not name the specific DoD branch, citing security reasons, and said the order brings its 2026 deliveries to that branch past $30 million.

why it matters

The order extends Kymeta's push into military multi-orbit terminals that avoid single-network dependency, a procurement pattern the Pentagon is increasingly favoring for resilient, always-on connectivity in contested environments, and one that puts Kymeta in direct competition with Viasat, Hughes, and other flat-panel terminal makers chasing the same DoD budget line.
