ATG, LLC

What ATG, LLC does

ATG, LLC (operating as ATG Solutions) is a privately held small business founded in 2022 and headquartered in Peachtree Corners, Georgia, with a dedicated research and development center in Frederick, Maryland. The company designs and builds satellite communications (SATCOM) hardware and digital intermediate frequency (IF) solutions for U.S. Department of Defense and allied government customers, with a stated secondary focus on commercial satellite operators.

The company's product portfolio centers on three hardware platforms: AURORA, a Luneburg-lens-based multi-beam antenna; TITAN, a multi-band antenna engineered for hypersonic and tactical platforms; and IFLEX-D, a DIFI-compliant digital IF digitizer and virtualization appliance that converts analog RF signals into routable digital streams for software-defined ground systems. The technology stack combines proprietary antenna physics, FPGA-based signal processing, and network functions virtualization (NFV) to enable multi-orbit, multi-beam communications with interoperability aligned to the DIFI open standard. ATG is a charter member of the DIFI Consortium, which shapes the digital IF interoperability specification adopted across DoD and commercial SATCOM programs.

ATG's revenue model rests on three streams: non-dilutive government funding via Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) awards, task orders under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles such as the Missile Defense Agency SHIELD MAC contract, and hardware-plus-engineering-services sales to government and commercial satellite operators. Recent contract cadence, including a SpaceWERX Direct-to-Phase II SBIR award in October 2025 and a position on the MDA SHIELD MAC IDIQ in December 2025, indicates active execution of this model, though no revenue figures have been disclosed. The company employs approximately 11 people, with leadership including CTO Jonathan Behrens (former DISA SATCOM Gateway experience), positioning ATG as an early-stage, technically focused defense SATCOM prime.

Core offering

ATG Solutions designs and manufactures specialized satellite communications (SATCOM) hardware including multi-beam Luneburg lens antennas (AURORA), multi-band tactical antennas (TITAN), and digital IF digitizers (IFLEX-D), alongside engineering services for U.S. government defense programs and prime defense integrators. The company's portfolio also includes the Defense SHIELD IDIQ contract vehicle supporting Missile Defense Agency (MDA) mission areas.

Product overview

ATG Solutions offers a unified portfolio of SATCOM hardware and digital infrastructure solutions comprising four core product lines: AURORA (Luneburg-lens multi-beam antenna for multi-orbit connectivity), TITAN (multi-band antenna for hypersonics and telemetry), IFLEX-D (digital IF digitizer bridging analog to digital migration), and Defense SHIELD IDIQ (multi-orbit SATCOM and virtualization services for DoD). The portfolio is designed around a digitization and virtualization platform approach, enabling incremental modernization of legacy ground systems without complete replacement. Products support DIFI Consortium standards for interoperability and integrate with third-party modems and radios.

• Honeywell Aerospace: Supplies avionics and SATCOM hardware (including Inmarsat GX aviation heritage adjacent to CTO Ken Quock's background), competing for multi-orbit antenna and avionics communications programs ATG addresses with TITAN.
• RTX (Raytheon): Major defense prime with missile defense and SATCOM portfolios that overlap ATG's MDA SHIELD exposure and could compete for Golden Dome SATCOM modernization task orders.
• L3Harris Technologies: Large defense prime with broad SATCOM terminals, HF/UHF/VHF radios, and protected communications portfolios that overlap ATG's defense communications scope and compete for the same SHIELD and Space Force dollars.
• Comtech Telecommunications: Established SATCOM ground systems and antenna provider to DoD; relevant comparable for ATG's IFLEX digital IF and ground modernization value proposition.
• Ball Aerospace: Builds space and defense electronics including antennas and RF subsystems; competes in adjacent defense communications and space-ground integration programs.

Direct peers

• Kymeta: Develops flat-panel, electronically steered SATCOM antennas for defense, government, and mobility use cases — a direct architectural alternative to AURORA's multi-beam, multi-orbit terminals.
