Caddie
DISMOUNTED SATCOM
Caddie
The Caddie is a phased array SATCOM system engineered for high-speed broadband connectivity on the move. Designed as a tactical, rucksack-mountable solution, it enables personnel to maintain a high-throughput LEO link while operating on foot in the most demanding environments.
Optimized for Starlink and Starshield constellations, the Caddie delivers ultra-low latency and high-speed data rates in a compact, battery-powered form factor. With automatic acquisition and a foldable, low-profile design, it provides continuous connectivity without compromising mobility or mission effectiveness.
