ViaSat has been awarded a $33.3 million Air Force contract for anti-jam satellite technology.
The contract covers the Protected Tactical Service Field Demonstration (PTSFD), which aims to provide wideband anti-jam communications for both government and commercial satellites.
“This program will include the development of a Protected Tactical Waveform (PTW) modem as well as an embedded cryptographic unit,” according to a ViaSat news release.
“This PTW modem, coupled with our ViaSat-3 ultra-high capacity class of satellites, uniquely positions ViaSat to provide global, interoperable communications to deployed warfighters with the most assured, resilient and fastest satellite service available,” ViaSat Vice President Ken Peterman said.
