Kratos Gets DOD Contract for Monitoring, Mitigation of Interference to Commercially Leased Spectrum

The Defense Department's Joint Functional Component Command for Space hired Kratos Defense & Security Solutions to do end-to-end satellite RF monitoring, interference detection and mitigation services aimed at safeguarding the commercially leased spectrum used by the military's U.S. Central Command and U.S. Pacific Command, Kratos said in a news release Tuesday. Phil Carrai, president-Kratos' Technology and Training Solutions Division, said military communications' increasing use of commercial spectrum means "newer, lower cost methods of providing resiliency to interference are fostering the convergence of DOD and commercial protected communications applications."
