Earth Observation
Gilat Defense delivers rugged, multi‑orbit ground systems that enable real‑time Earth Observation (EO) data delivery to the warfighter. As imaging satellites grow more powerful and data volumes surge, our transportable RF, optical, and hybrid terminals provide high‑throughput, resilient connectivity across GEO, MEO, HEO, and LEO constellations.
Our portfolio includes full‑motion 1.3m, 2.6m, and 3.4m DKET terminals, the 10 Gbps Transportable Optical Gateway Station (T‑OGS), and modular RF architectures supporting X, Ku, Ka, and emerging bands. All systems are MIL‑STD‑certified, rapidly deployable, and engineered for contested environments.
Gilat Defense also leads the transition to software‑defined ground systems. Powered by the GLT‑1500 Software‑Defined Radio Modem, our virtualized waveform environment enables dynamic waveform instantiation, multi‑orbit abstraction, elastic throughput scaling, and seamless integration with cloud‑based EO processing pipelines. Hybrid RF/optical routing ensures continuous mission availability in all conditions.
Together, these capabilities deliver a complete, future‑proof EO ground architecture—providing warfighters and analysts with real‑time, actionable intelligence at the tactical edge.
