Aalyria and ALL.SPACE Bring Spacetime-Orchestrated Hydra MAX Terminals into Operational Deployment for U.S. Government Hybrid Architectures
ALL.SPACE, a leader in resilient, multi-orbit, multi-link SATCOM solutions, today announced that Aalyria has placed an order for Hydra MAX terminals to be deployed with Aalyria’s Spacetime orchestration software integrated directly with the platform. It marks a significant milestone for Hydra MAX, moving the program from strategic collaboration to active demonstration in operationally relevant U.S. Government (USG) environments, where the terminals will support USG initiatives aligned with U.S. missile defense and joint-force data-transport architectures. Spacetime is hardware-agnostic by design, consistent with the USG's direction toward multi-vendor resilience, and Hydra MAX joins a growing set of terminal types the software already supports. Government demand for this kind of adaptable, multi-domain connectivity keeps expanding and Spacetime is designed to expand with it.
This deployment builds on the previously announced partnership between ALL.SPACE and Aalyria, which paired Hydra terminals with Spacetime to create an autonomous, interoperable, multi-domain “network of networks” spanning LEO, MEO, HEO, GEO, terrestrial, 5G, and cloud systems. That collaboration established Hydra’s multi-link capability and Spacetime’s orchestration intelligence as a foundation for resilient communications in contested defense environments. It brings that capability into the field, with room to demonstrate and exercise it further as new use cases come online.
Hydra MAX is ALL.SPACE’s flagship next-generation SATCOM platform, the world’s first dual-beam, full-duplex, 500 MHz-per-beam Ka-band terminal for communications-on-the-move, delivering up to 1 GHz of aggregate instantaneous bandwidth across commercial and military Ka-band frequencies. The software-defined platform is engineered to support simultaneous connectivity across multiple satellite networks and emerging multi-orbit architectures.
Spacetime is a temporospatial orchestration platform that continuously optimizes routing, topology, and resources across dynamic terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks. It maintains a live, planet-scale model of every platform, link, and orbit in the network, using that model to compute the best path for each connection and push changes out within seconds. When a link degrades or a platform moves out of range, Spacetime reroutes traffic automatically, without waiting on an operator to step in, the same orchestration intelligence that has run in production for years and logged millions of flight hours keeping a global mesh network connected.
Paul McCarter, Chief Executive Officer at ALL.SPACE, said: “This deployment is an important validation of Hydra MAX. Customers are moving beyond interest in the architecture to real deployment decisions, and Aalyria's commitment shows this capability is ready for operationally relevant U.S. Government missions.”
In the field, the integrated terminals deliver automated, software-driven failover across multiple orbits and networks, maintaining connectivity as platforms move or individual links are degraded or denied. It turns the capability the two companies set out to prove into a system operators can exercise and build on.
“Every domain we work in, sea, land, air, and space, is trying to solve the same problem: turning scattered sensors, shooters, and platforms into a network that behaves as one, even as the mission keeps changing shape underneath it,” said Ian Eishen, SVP of Government at Aalyria. “Spacetime was built to solve exactly that, and integrating with the Hydra MAX lets that network reconfigure itself in real time instead of waiting on the next requirements cycle. It's a real step toward the kind of connectivity government users are going to depend on for years to come.”
The announcement reinforces ALL.SPACE’s growing momentum in defense and government markets, following the launch of Hydra MAX, the U.S. Navy’s selection of Hydra MAX, the collaboration with Aalyria, the certification and collaboration with Viasat, the certifications with SES Space & Defense, and the Royal Canadian Navy’s selection for shore-based SATCOM evaluation.
