SKY Perfect JSAT Jointly with Kratos Awarded Contract to Build C-band Spectrum Monitoring Facility for the Japan Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications
16 June 2022 - 10:00PM
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: KTOS), a
leading National Security Solutions provider, announced today that
it was awarded a contract to build a state-of-the-art C-band
Geostationary Orbit (GSO) Satellite Spectrum Monitoring Facility.
Kratos is implementing this solution as part of a joint project
with Japan’s main satellite operator, SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation
(SKY Perfect JSAT), for the Ministry of Internal Affairs and
Communications (MIC) in Japan.
The system will address MIC’s need to implement
a new location for spectrum monitoring, protected from 5G
interference, that will help in assuring the spectrum and reducing
the potential for signal congestion, RF interference and illegal
usage. Kratos is working closely with SKY Perfect JSAT, the prime
contractor who is coordinating with the Japanese government to
implement the project and to host the C-band antennas.
Kratos hardware and software products
incorporated in this turnkey integrated ground system include
Monics® for spectrum monitoring, satID® for geolocation of
satellite transmitters, Compass® for network Monitor & Control
(M&C), Geomon for ITU missions automation and a big data
analysis platform for ground system analytics. This platform will
enable operators to collect performance data across ground systems
and use business intelligence to analyze satellite measurements
from both regulatory and technical perspectives. These products and
solutions will be integrated with Kratos antennas covering C
frequency band to provide an end-to-end management solution.
“Increasing space traffic continues to impact
spectrum reliability worldwide,” said Susumu Fujimoto, President of
Kratos Communications Japan. “Kratos will help the MIC and
regulators around the globe to minimize interference, check
licensing and assure the spectrum. The MIC’s new spectrum
monitoring facility will enable the delivery of reliable,
interference-free licensed satellite services.”
Kratos has worked with numerous government
spectrum regulators around the world to build advanced spectrum
monitoring solutions. Kratos offers comprehensive turnkey
capabilities and a broad portfolio of products for end-to-end
ground operations including networks, RF management, and Space
Domain Awareness (SDA) from office locations around the globe.
