US Space Force increases efforts to plug training capabilities gaps
The service has been seeking simulation and emulation solutions capable of reproducing multiple in-orbit threats.
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc., a leading National Security Solutions provider, announced today that its Integral Systems group has been awarded a commercial services contract by MEASAT Satellite Systems ("MEASAT") to provide Radio Frequency (RF) Interference Detection and Geolocation service. The service leverages dedicated satellite network analyst expertise and industry-leading products from Integral Systems, including Monics, SAT-DSP and satID to provide unmatched RF carrier under carrier interference analysis and geolocation detection of interfering signals for commercial and military satellite operators.
"The Integral Systems RF Interference Detection and Geolocation Service is an affordable RF interference mitigation solution that provides our commercial and military customers with a competitive advantage in locating and identifying sources of interference due to equipment failure, operator error, intentional jamming and unauthorized access," said Phil Carrai, President of Kratos Technology & Training Solutions. "Supported by our team of experts, we are able to resolve RF interference issues for customers quickly and accurately."
satID is a registered product of RT Logic and Monics and SAT-DSP are registered products of SAT Corporation. Both companies are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Integral Systems, Inc., a Kratos Company.

The service has been conducting several acquisition and upgrading efforts involving artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve communication, data analysis and ISR systems.
The Syracuse 4B communications satellite, developed by Airbus and Thales Alenia Space, was launched last year, bolstering secure military satellite communications for the French Armed Forces. Thales has now been selected to provide terminals for vehicles.
The growing importance of space in modern warfare, advancements in satellite technology, and increasing threats from rivals like China and Russia were among the topics of a Eurosatory 2024 panel on military space operations.
AN/ARC-232A is a Starfire radio that provides VHF/UHF communications to airborne platforms and the transceiver is software-programmable, allowing for multiple waveform support as well as optional national electronic counter counter-measure (ECCM) capability.
During the 18-month period of the contract, Lockheed Martin will apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques to create surrogate models of aircraft, sensors, electronic warfare and weapons within dynamic and operationally representative environments.
