We discuss the potential for the detection of dark matter and the characterization of its particle nature via the observation of dark matter subhalos. Specifically, we discuss the search for dark matter Galactic subhalos in the gamma-ray band with the Large Area Telescope on-board the Fermi gamma-ray Space Telescope, and the future generation of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes, best represented by the planned Cherenkov Telescope Array.
