Kratos Defense & Security Solutions announced today that Yahsat has selected Kratos to support its expanding satellite fleet with Command and Control (C2), signal monitoring and data analysis solutions. Kratos’ Epoch Integrated Product Suite (IPS) will provide C2 for Yahsat’s Al Yah 3 satellite, a High-Throughput Satellite (HTS) with a global reach over three continents scheduled for launch this year; as well as for Yahsat’s existing Al Yah 1 and Al Yah 2 satellites, where it is replacing legacy systems.

Additionally, Kratos’ Monics carrier monitoring system will provide carrier monitoring and interference detection services to support Al Yah 3, set to serve multipurpose satellite solutions for broadband, broadcast, government and communications use across the Middle East, Africa, Europe, South America, Central and Southwest Asia.

Epoch and Monics join Kratos’ Compass Monitoring and Control (M&C) system, currently being used by Yahsat, to proactively monitor and manage their satellite network devices to reduce costly downtime.
