Addressing the challenges of the next generation of warfighters
The tactical communications landscape is evolving. From the new class of users being introduced into the network to the way information exchange requirements are adapting to mission-driven needs, Viasat anticipates these challenges and more that warfighters will be facing. Their end-to-end approach to Link 16 and LOS communications, features:
- Broadest range of terminals and radios available
- Built-in resiliency and redundancy with our tactical gateways
