Darkhorse Space & Ground Systems

Darkhorse Space & Ground Systems is a cutting-edge technology startup specializing in advanced RF and microwave antenna solutions. With deep expertise in design, manufacturing, and innovation, we are committed to delivering high-performance, cost-effective antenna systems for both the Department of Defense and commercial markets. Proudly owned and operated in the United States, Darkhorse is driven by a team of industry veterans who have dedicated their careers to developing, refining, and deploying state-of-the-art antenna technologies—including phased arrays, multi-band SATCOM ground stations, and RF autotracking systems. Our mission is to redefine the future of communications through precision engineering and breakthrough innovation.

Our commercial space-based phased array antennas are designed for communication in the Unified S-band (USB) and Earth Observation Band (X-band). These antennas are engineered to enhance performance while maintaining commercial affordability for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) platforms. They enable operators to increase data rates while reducing satellite bus weight and power requirements.

Our capabilities include antenna design, mechanical and systems engineering, and software development.  We specialize in providing affordable custom solutions to our customer’s most demanding engineering needs.
