Secure, resilient connectivity on the ground with options to suit diverse operational requirements.
Enhanced situational awareness at every echelon

When it comes to the ground domain, today’s military needs to deny adversaries the ability to disrupt, degrade, and deny communications. The ability to seamlessly roam between Primary, Alternate, Contingent, and Emergency (PACE) Communications is critical to enable information sharing from the individual solider on the battlefield to a team, or a vehicle, or mission control at the command post.

 

In the face of such uncertainty, you need a satellite communications partner that has proven itself for decades. One with broadband connectivity solutions that are secure, reliable, and available now — supporting portable, vehicular, and fixed deployments.

 

A partner capable of delivering communication with flexible mobility and 99.9% reliability.

 

Viasat enables tactical networking capabilities throughout every stage of the mission, supporting command and control, direct action/call for fires, disaster relief and rapid response, counterinsurgency, comm-on-the-move, and comm-on-the-pause.

For NGOs, military units and first responders, speed of connection and portability are key to communications in remote locations. The L3 Harris Darkwing and Paradigm SWARM flat panel terminals offer super-compact, rugged, and discreet communications systems that are easy to stow and can be deployed in seconds. Ultra-moveable and lightweight, both terminals acquire GX satellites through simplified and intuitive manual pointing processes. The Darkwing uses the L3Harris ViewSat-e GUI and visual indicators for adjustments, via a user-friendly front panel display. The SWARM connects without the use of tools or training, having been designed to enable rapid deployment by nonskilled users; accessing via the built-in audio feedback and visual crosshairs of the PIM (Paradigm Interface Module). The Darkwing is compatible with 2590 military batteries; up to three can be connected in series, giving off-grid power for up to three hours, offering reliable operating flexibility. Rugged and robust enough for harsh conditions, both flat panel terminals allow you to access the speed of Viasat’s Global Xpress network wherever your mission takes you.
