Enabling resilient, assured connectivity across SATCOM networks in contested electromagnetic spectrum environments

SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / March 17, 2026 / Cubic Secure Communications, a business unit of Cubic Defense, will showcase its Vector multi-band, multi-beam, multi-orbit SATCOM antenna at Satellite 2026 (SatShow) from March 24-26 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C.

"As global operations become more complex, resilient connectivity is critical," said Dan Moran, Vice President and General Manager of Secure Communications, Cubic Defense. "Vector redefines how warfighters connect across domains and constellations enabling multi-domain operations and critical missions by delivering multi-orbit, multi-beam capability from a single, software-defined antenna, providing continuous connectivity, even in contested environments."

Vector delivers resilient, assured communications across satellite networks. Engineered for air, ground and surface platforms, Vector enables simultaneous connectivity across low Earth orbit (LEO), medium Earth orbit (MEO), and geostationary Earth orbit (GEO) constellations in both Ku and Ka bands, helping resolve critical gaps in wideband tactical communications.

Vector is a modular, low-size, weight and power (SWaP) optimized phased array antenna built on a software-defined, digitally beamformed architecture. Designed to support hybrid SATCOM and line-of-sight networks and expanded muti-function capabilities, Vector consolidates multiple apertures and functions into a single extensible system, providing a trade space between reduced SWaP-C and operational performance.

The solution supports:

Multi-orbit, multi-band, multi-beam connectivity

Always-on communications with network redundancy

Interference detection and mitigation

Spectrum awareness and signal geolocation for network assurance

Open standards integration for future growth

Cubic's Secure Communications portfolio includes digital beamforming, open architecture interfaces to modems, and protected waveforms to deliver assured and stealthy communications for operations in congested and denied spectrum environments.
