CAPABILITIES
• DKETs are currently deployed
in three configurations: Light
(3.7 – 3.9M), Mobile (4.5M) and
standard (4.6M – 7M), with the
majority being the light design.

This lighter design has a tri-fold
antenna and a smaller shelter
to make redeployment and
setup faster and easier.
• The robust DKET network
makes for a seamless
transition to backup equipment

outages and minimizes impact
to the Soldier.
• DKETs operate on Ku, Ka and
X-band frequencies.
• Electronics are housed in
separate shelters
