Gilat Satellite Networks has announced that Gilat DataPath received an order valued at more than $32 million from the U.S. Department of War for DKET Systems that operate across Ku, Ka and X-band networks, with deliveries expected over the next 12 months.

The award represents a significant expansion of Gilat DataPath’s long-standing DKET activity and further strengthens Gilat Defense’s position in larger and more complex U.S. mission-critical communications programs. Designed for rapid transport and deployment at alternate locations, the DKET platforms help customers maintain continuity of operations and restore high-capacity communications in dynamic operational environments.

“This award demonstrates the increasing importance of relocatable ground infrastructure in modern defense communications,” said Nicole Robinson, President of Gilat DataPath. “When critical connectivity needs to be established or restored quickly and reliably, mobility becomes a strategic advantage. Our proven transportable gateway solutions give customers the flexibility to rapidly enable and sustain communications wherever operational requirements demand.”

This order further reinforces Gilat Defense’s role as a trusted provider of advanced military communications solutions and highlights its ability to deliver resilient, transportable capabilities that address the evolving operational demands of today’s battlefield. The order also supports Gilat’s continued growth in strategic defense communications programs across the U.S. and allied markets.
