Key Capabilities

  • Plans and replans continuously minute-by-minute
  • Optimizes power, beam shapes, frequency routing
  • Responds to changing traffic and conditions automatically
02

Automatic request handling and deployment

Automatic provisioning deploys service in minutes, eliminating manual coordination bottlenecks and enabling rapid service that provides customers immediate connectivity.

Key Capabilities

  • Automatically receives and evaluates service requests
  • Provisions capacity across space and ground assets
  • Deploys service in minutes vs hours
03

Automatic detection and response to threats

Autonomous mitigation finds and stops threats like hardware failures, interference, or rain fade instantly. By automatically rerouting traffic and adjusting power, it keeps services running smoothly without needing an operator to step in.

Key Capabilities

  • Detects hardware failures, rain, interference automatically
  • Compensates without operator intervention
  • Preserves service despite adverse conditions
04

Hybrid GEO, LEO, MEO network orchestration

Integrated management orchestrates all assets at once, routing traffic to optimal satellites, handing off services across orbits, and managing interference between constellations.

Key Capabilities

  • Manages GEO, LEO, MEO simultaneously
  • Coordinates heterogeneous satellite types
  • Enables constellation-wide optimization
05

Flexible autonomy from assisted to fully autonomous

Operators set high-level policies while KOS handles the execution, giving them control over critical decisions while still enabling the split-second responses that manual control can’t provide.

Key Capabilities

  • Operates with human oversight or full autonomy
  • Allows maturation over time
  • Operators guide while system executes
06

Unified management across space, ground, and terminals

With integrated architecture, operators can make network-wide decisions like routing traffic through the best paths, coordinating beam handovers, and managing interference by considering all your assets at once.

Key Capabilities

  • Manages satellites, gateways, modems, terminals
  • Provides unified visibility across layers
  • Enables integrated network optimization

KOS (Kythera Operating System) autonomously manages satellite payloads, ground gateways, and terminals in real-time, continuously planning and replanning minute-by-minute. Operators submit service requests electronically. KOS evaluates available capacity across constellations, automatically provisions resources, and deploys configurations without manual intervention. The real-time operations system maintains optimized network performance despite changing conditions throughout operations.

KOS receives electronic service requests, evaluates available capacity across satellite constellations considering current conditions, and automatically configures satellites, gateways, and modems to provision service. Automatic provisioning deploys connectivity in minutes where manual coordination requires hours of team coordination and approvals. The system eliminates provisioning delays enabling immediate service startup while operators focus on mission execution instead of resource allocation.

KOS plans and replans continuously minute-by-minute responding to real-time conditions while manual operations use pre-configured static assignments. Manual operations require operators evaluating capacity, seeking approvals, and manually implementing changes consuming hours per decision. Autonomous operations eliminate these delays, respond to threats automatically, and continuously optimize network performance where manual processes cause bottlenecks and service outages.

Yes. KOS manages hybrid networks combining GEO, LEO, MEO, and HEO satellites with heterogeneous payloads automatically coordinating across orbits. Single-orbit or proprietary systems require separate management tools preventing constellation-wide optimization. Integrated management orchestrates all assets together—routing traffic to optimal satellites, handing off services across orbits, coordinating across constellations as a unified network.

KOS anticipates and automatically compensates for hardware failures, rain fade, gateway outages, and interference adjusting configurations preserving service without operator intervention. Manual threat response requires operators identifying problems, analyzing alternatives, and implementing workarounds creating service outages during response delays. Autonomous mitigation detects threats automatically—rerouting traffic, shifting beams, adjusting power—maintaining service despite adverse conditions.

KOS operates flexibly from human in-the-loop to fully autonomous depending on mission requirements. Operators can guide, monitor, and troubleshoot KOS operations maintaining control over critical decisions while KOS handles execution. SATCOM operations mature over time transitioning from assisted control to full autonomy as confidence grows. Flexible approach enables starting with human oversight while building toward fully autonomous operations.

KOS manages military SATCOM networks and commercial SATCOM operations. Government satellite operators and commercial constellation managers use KOS for autonomous network orchestration across multiple missions. Enterprise-level systems coordinate government and commercial networks demonstrating KOS capability managing diverse satellite types and user communities in production operations.

KOS orchestrates space network components (satellites), ground layer (gateways, baseband modems), and terminal assets providing unified management. Integration happens through standard interfaces enabling KOS to coordinate with existing infrastructure without replacing deployed systems. Unified architecture enables network-wide optimization where separate systems keep operations in silos missing constellation-scale efficiency.

Autonomous provisioning eliminates request delays enabling immediate service startup where manual coordination consumes hours. Service requests deploy in minutes instead of requiring day-long coordination cycles. Operators focus on mission execution instead of resource allocation. Faster provisioning enables responding to emerging requirements without lengthy approval processes delaying mission needs.

Autonomous threat detection and mitigation preserve service continuously despite hardware failures, weather disruptions, and interference. Real-time optimization adapts to changing conditions maintaining service where static networks become suboptimal or non-functional. Minute-by-minute replanning responds to emerging threats automatically preventing service outages manual operations cannot address quickly enough.
