WASHINGTON — Cubic Defense is pursuing military customers for its flat-panel satellite communications terminal designed to operate across multiple orbits and networks.

The San Diego-based military technology contractor developed a family of electronically scanned array satellite terminals with support from the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Information Directorate. The lab last week extended funding for continued development through mid-2027 under a long-running effort known as Halo-Enabled Resilient Mesh.

According to an AFRL contract announcement in 2023 , the Halo mesh development deal is valued at $8.8 million. The program, which dates back roughly a decade, focuses on resilient, adaptive networking to support operations in contested environments.
