Kymeta

Flat-panel satellite antenna manufacturer for mission-critical military and government communications.

Kymeta manufactures electronically steered flat-panel satellite antennas using metamaterials technology, providing multi-orbit, on-the-move communications for defense and government customers. The company's Osprey u8 and Goshawk u8 terminals operate across GEO, LEO, and cellular networks. Kymeta was selected as a multi-orbit SATCOM provider for the US Army's Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) pilot program and has sold over 9,000 units in more than 80 countries and territories, including 500+ Osprey terminals across the Army, Marine Corps, and SOCOM. Manny Mora, a defense-industry executive, became CEO in November 2025, succeeding Rick Bergman. Recent partnerships include integrating Kymeta's conformal multi-orbit antenna technology into iRocket's missile interceptors to support the Pentagon's Golden Dome program, and joining Red Cat's Futures Initiative for contested-environment maritime communications.
