Gogo and Insitu collaborate on Group 3 UAS connectivity

Broomfield, CO./ 22 September 2026 – Gogo Special Missions, the military/government division of Gogo (NASDAQ: GOGO), and Insitu, a Boeing company, announced today the successful completion of testing and integration of a new, modified high-speed satellite connectivity solution, tailored specifically for Group 3 Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS). The leading Group 3 UAS OEM and the leading Global UAS connectivity supplier have partnered to optimize the Gogo Galileo HDX antenna for installation on Insitu’s Integrator UAS.

“The Integrator UAS offers theater-level range and capacity for multiple customer payloads. Adding an ITAR-free, high-speed SATCOM option is an essential capability for our global customers—extending command and control and allowing seamless backhaul of sensor data with minimal latency. We are pleased to partner with Gogo, which will deliver a turnkey solution that includes UAS equipment, satellite services, and 24/7 support,” says John Kelly, Vice President of Growth of Insitu.

“The collaboration with Insitu is particularly exciting, as it gives us the opportunity to modify our proven HDX solution, specifically to address the fast-growing Group 3 UAS market,” explains Ben Massey, Senior Vice-President & General Manager of Gogo Special Missions. “With our antenna system further optimized for size and weight, Insitu customers will now be able to access high-speed, global internet over Eutelsat’s OneWeb LEO satellite constellation, with a single line replaceable unit (LRU) configuration.”

The two companies successfully completed integration and testing of the customized Gogo Galileo HDX on the Integrator this month, alongside the FLARES Vertical Take-off and Landing kit. This new capability requires minimal deck space, can launch in high seas and gusty winds, and requires zero aircraft modifications.
