Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. announced a $9 million contract from Israel’s Ministry of Defense to deliver and integrate advanced satellite communication modems in Petah Tikva. The order adds a substantial revenue stream to Gilat’s defense portfolio and represents roughly 27 % of the defense‑segment revenue that was $33.3 million in Q4 2025, underscoring the significance of the deal relative to the company’s overall business.
The contract follows Gilat’s recent expansion of its defense capabilities through the acquisition of DataPath in March 2023 and Stellar Blu Solutions in June 2024 (closing in January 2025). These acquisitions have broadened Gilat’s product offering and enabled the company to deliver more sophisticated, mission‑critical SATCOM solutions. The new order, focused on next‑generation defense modems designed to operate in harsh environments, fits neatly into this strategy by reinforcing Gilat’s position as a trusted supplier for secure, reliable, and flexible communications in defense operations.
President Gilad Landsberg highlighted the contract’s importance, noting that it “highlights the continued importance of advanced SATCOM as an enabler for modern defense forces. We are proud to once again deliver high‑performance solutions to the Israel Ministry of Defense, reflecting the depth of our defense expertise and our commitment to meeting complex operational requirements.” The deal demonstrates sustained demand for secure satellite communications and supports Gilat’s broader focus on multi‑orbit solutions and high‑value, mission‑critical connectivity.
The contract is part of a broader pattern of defense wins for Gilat, following a $16 million order from a European Ministry of Defense for transportable terminals and a $27 million order for Stellar Blu’s ESA terminal technology. These wins collectively reinforce Gilat’s reputation as a key partner for government and defense customers worldwide.
