Full Satellite and Spectrum Advantage for DoD Applications
As the U.S. Department of Defense accelerates its adoption of advanced connectivity technologies to support multi-domain operations, the need for resilient, secure, and scalable communications infrastructure has never been greater.
From autonomous systems and tactical edge networks to logistics and asset tracking, the modern battlefield demands solutions that can operate anywhere, anytime, and without compromise. Globalstar delivers that advantage.
Through a unique combination of LEO satellite connectivity, tamper-resistant and rugged tracking devices, and a next-generation private networking platform, Globalstar provides a full-spectrum communications solution purpose-built for DoD missions, from contested urban environments to the most remote operational theaters.
Mission-Ready Devices Built for the Tactical Edge
Globalstar’s device portfolio is engineered for reliability, discretion, and survivability. Designed to minimize size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C), our field-proven hardware supports a range of mission profiles, including:- Personnel, vehicle, and asset tracking with real-time visibility
- Unattended sensor platforms with low-latency satellite reporting
- Tagging, tracking, and location (TTL) in GPS-denied or jammed environments
- Tamper-resistant designs to ensure operational integrity even in adversarial zones
Secure LEO Satellite Connectivity Without Gaps
At the heart of Globalstar’s value to defense customers is its Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation, enabling secure, uninterrupted communications across the globe. Key advantages include:- Global coverage with low latency, ideal for near real-time tracking and messaging
- Seamless signal handoff between satellites for uninterrupted data transmission
- Minimal RF signature, supporting low probability or intercept/low probability of detection (LPI/LPD) in operations
- Platform-agnostic integration into existing DoD command, control, and communications infrastructure
- Resilient design, offering critical redundancy when terrestrial networks are degraded or denied
Private Cellular (5G) Networks for High-Bandwidth Tactical Needs
For missions that require high-speed, low-latency data transfer, from video surveillance to command-and-control systems, Globalstar offers secure terrestrial connectivity through its licensed mid-band spectrum holdings and software-defined radio platform, XCOM RAN.XCOM RAN Delivers:
- High-performance private 5G networking in spectrum that can be reserved for DoD and government operations
- Software-defined orchestration for rapid deployment, scaling, and reconfiguration
- Greater throughput per radio, reducing infrastructure footprint and setup time
- Built-in interference mitigation and dynamic coordination in complex RF environments
- End-to-end data control, enabling secure on-premises routing and compliance with classified data requirements
One Mission, One Network Strategy
Globalstar’s value to the DoD lies in its ability to deliver a unified, layered communications architecture that spans space, ground, and edge. It’s one that is:- Deployable today
- Field-proven and low SWaP-C
- Compliant with evolving mission standards
- Resilient connectivity
Ready for the Next Generation of DoD Operations
Globalstar continues to expand its capabilities in line with DoD modernization priorities, from supporting autonomous systems and reconnaissance assets to providing secure tracking and situational awareness in any domain.With a proven LEO satellite infrastructure, cutting-edge private networking solution, and mission-ready hardware, Globalstar delivers the full satellite and spectrum advantage for today’s defense department and tomorrow’s operational demand.
