CARLSBAD, Calif., Feb. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Viasat
Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT), a global communications company, today
announced its Visual Integrated Satellite communications
Information, Operation and Networking (VISION) management software
has successfully achieved Department of Defense (DoD) Joint
Interoperability Test Command (JITC) Integrated Waveform (IW)
certification. With this certification, global defense customers
using the VISION software will gain greater communications
interoperability, scalability and flexibility across legacy and
next-generation Ultra High Frequency (UHF) satellite communications
(SATCOM) platforms, while meeting stringent U.S. DoD satellite
access requirements.
VISION provides a user-friendly single network management
interface for legacy UHF Demand-Assigned Multiple-Access (DAMA) and
IW services. The integrated controller dramatically speeds
warfighters' abilities to connect on the battlefield, going from 90
seconds through a legacy UHF SATCOM system to as little as four
seconds with IW. VISION also enables network operators to
dynamically reconfigure UHF satellite networks on-the-fly to meet
new mission priorities in real-time.
"Viasat is the only company to offer JITC-certified UHF SATCOM
Network Channel Control software that meets the DoD's performance
standards to enhance situational awareness across the battlespace,"
said Craig Miller, president, Viasat
Government Systems. "The VISION platform is important because it
enables global defense customers to optimize their UHF network
management systems to gain resilient, secure UHF SATCOM
capabilities with faster communications, greater reliability and
improved functionality to support real-time mission needs."
Viasat's Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) VISION software enables
users to locally or remotely manage and control ground station
networks, monitor status and system performance, track event/alarm
management situations and add/remove services when missions change.
Operators can double their channel efficiency using IW networks
without additional investment in the UHF space segment. This
optimization doubles the number of simultaneous networks, giving
more warfighters access to reliable, high-quality, resilient voice
and data communications.
Additionally, Viasat's VISION platform passed system testing and
has been in operational service since 2019 for the NATO
Communications and Information Agency as part of its UHF SATCOM
modernization efforts. VISION is recognized as the first
commercially available software package to simultaneously support
legacy DAMA and next-generation IW (5 kHz and 25 kHz) networks and
services.
Similarly, Viasat recently provided the VISION platform to the
UK Ministry of Defence for expanded UHF Skynet satellite network
capability.
