The SI derived unit for force is the:   newton(N)

1 kilogram-force (kgf) = 9.806 65 newton (N)
1 kip = 1000 pound-force (lbf)
1 pound-force (lbf) = 4.448 222 newton (N)
1 poundal = 0.138 255 newton (N)

The mass of an object is measured by kilogram mass [kgm] and is not depended on the gravitational system that surrounds the object.

The kgf is the force acting on a mass of 1 kgm at the gravitational force of the earth which is 9.80665 m/s2

Thus       1 kgf = 9.80665 kgm m / s2 = 9.80665 [N]
