All.Space's Hydra Max Terminal achieves U.S. Army's TRL 6 milestone in satellite tech

All.Space has reached a major milestone in satellite communications technology. Its Hydra Max Terminal has achieved Technology Readiness Level 6 in the U.S. Army’s Next Generation Tactical Terminal program. The system has moved from prototype to full operational validation. The Hydra Max Terminal is a dual-beam Ka-band system. It supports simultaneous broadband connections across multiple satellite networks. This includes compatibility with military and commercial systems, as well as future constellations like Amazon’s Project Kuiper and Telesat Lightspeed.

Testing took place at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland. The trials involved tactical vehicles to assess mobile connectivity. The terminal delivered high data rates and high-definition video transmission in both stationary and moving conditions.

During demonstrations, the Hydra Max Terminal proved its ability to maintain multi-beam connectivity across different orbits. All.Space CEO Paul McCarter called the achievement of TRL 6 a defining moment for the company. The U.S. Army’s NGTT program aims to create terminals that support multiple orbits, constellations, and services. The Hydra Max Terminal now stands as an operationally validated system. It offers uninterrupted, intelligent connectivity under demanding conditions. The success marks a step forward for the U.S. Army’s goals in advanced satellite communications.
