Introducing Viper, RaySat’s UAV Ka-band ESA, designed for resilient multi-orbit connectivity.
-- Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. (NASDAQ: GILT, TASE: GILT), a worldwide leader in satellite networking technology, solutions, and services, announced today that Gilat Defense has expanded its portfolio of products to support tactical unmanned platforms.
Gilat Defense showcased RaySat’s new Viper Ka Electronically Steered Antenna (ESA). RaySat, a Gilat subsidiary, offers this advanced product, delivering secure, low-latency communications with low size, weight, and power (SWaP) and minimal aerodynamic impact for mission-critical unmanned operations.
The Viper Ka supports multi-orbit operations across LEO, MEO, and GEO satellite constellations, dynamically selecting the optimal orbit based on mission requirements. This capability enables seamless adaptation to evolving operational environments. The antenna is designed to support current and future Ka-band constellations, including emerging military and defense-focused networks.
“Operational forces increasingly depend on unmanned platforms that require resilient and uninterrupted very low-latency connectivity across highly dynamic operational environments,” said Gilad Landsberg, President of Gilat Defense. “With the addition of the Viper to our resilient SATCOM ground infrastructure, which includes modems, portable and transportable ground terminals, BUCs, and complementary ground equipment, we are providing defense customers with a comprehensive and highly adaptable portfolio that supports continuous communications across multiple satellite networks for tactical air, land, and maritime missions.”
