What Klas does

Klas Limited, founded in 1991 and headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, designs and manufactures rugged modular communications, compute, and radio systems for defense, government, public safety, and transportation customers. Its core platform, Voyager, is a proprietary modular system built to a "TrueTactical" standard (spec'd beyond MIL-STD-810 for shock, vibration, and temperature) using a standardized 7.4 x 6.3 x 2 module form factor that fits into chassis ranging from dismounted / hand-carriable enclosures to 8-slot vehicle-mounted racks. Module families cover routing (VoyagerESR 2.0, TRX R2, TRX R6), switching (VoyagerSW10GG/12GG/26G/ESm), compute and storage (VoyagerVM 4.0, VoyagerHPC, VoyagerGPU 4.0, VoyagerNAS 4.0), and radio integration (VoyagerEMm family, TRIK, TMES, TDL).

The software stack includes KlasOS Keel, a security-hardened Linux-based OS with an integrated KVM hypervisor, and KlasOS Fastnet, a NIAP Common Criteria certified network switch OS with FIPS 140-2 cryptographic algorithms; KlasOS Keel is listed on the NSA Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) Components List. Klas integrates enterprise silicon from Cisco, NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, and partners with tactical radio OEMs (Collins Aerospace, L3Harris, Thales, Silvus, Persistent Systems, TrellisWare, ViaSat). Klas Government, Inc. is the U.S. subsidiary, established in 2009, supporting classified programs.

Klas sells primarily through direct government field sales (with a 24/7/365 support model), supplemented by trade show presence (SOF Week, AUSA, DSEI, MilCIS, NATO Edge) and embedded distribution via Cisco/Dell/Microsoft partner channels. Revenue is generated via hardware system sales, software/OS licensing (Keel, Fastnet), and KlasKare support services, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Named programs include USSOCOM TACLAN Next Generation Family of Systems and integration into Anduril's $20 billion, 10-year U.S. Army framework agreement. Klas was acquired by Anduril Industries in 2025 (closed mid-year) and now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary with stated plans to expand manufacturing capacity; Klas had approximately 150 employees across Ireland and U.S. offices.

Core offering

Klas designs, manufactures, and sells rugged edge computing, networking, and radio integration hardware (Voyager platform) along with KlasOS software for government, defense, and transportation customers. The Voyager platform is a modular, scalable system of chassis, compute modules, network switches, storage, and radio gateways built to TrueTactical standards for extreme environments. Products are complemented by KlasKare support services and solution bundles such as TRIK, TMES, and TDL.

Product overview

Klas offers the Voyager system, a modular and scalable platform of rugged edge technology designed for extreme tactical environments. The Voyager platform consists of chassis systems (from 2-slot to 8-slot configurations), compute modules (VoyagerVM 4.0, VoyagerHPC, VoyagerGPU 4.0), network switching and routing (VoyagerSW series, VoyagerESR 2.0), storage (VoyagerNAS 4.0), and radio integration (VoyagerEMm, TRIK). The system runs KlasOS software including Keel (secure edge OS with hypervisor) and Fastnet (switch OS), supported by Blackrock automation. Voyager is complemented by the TRX connected transport system for transportation and automotive applications, and solutions like TMES (Tactical Multi Enclave System), TDL (Tactical Data Link), and TRIK (Tactical Radio Integration Kit). Klas was acquired by Anduril Industries in 2025.
