ABERDEEN, Md., June 1, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- Viasat Inc., (NASDAQ: VSAT), a global
communications company, today announced the opening of a new office
in Aberdeen, Maryland, located in
Harford County, on the U.S. Army's
Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG)
installation. This new office will be an important partnering
location for Viasat Government Systems employees, enabling teams to
deepen customer relationships and continue ongoing work to support
the U.S. Army's network transformation.
Recognized as the U.S. Army's pre-eminent post for C5ISR
(Command, Control, Communication, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence,
Surveillance and Reconnaissance), APG is home to several commands
including the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM),
Army Futures Command Combat Capabilities Development Command
(DEVCOM) and the Network Cross-Functional Team (N-CFT), Army Test
and Evaluation Command (ATEC), Program Executive Office Command,
Control, Communications-Tactical (PEO C3T), Program Executive
Office for Intelligence, Electronic Warfare, and Sensors (PEO
IEW&S), and the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical and
Biological Defense, among others.
Viasat is an industry leader providing tactical data links,
cybersecurity and military data encryption solutions, as well as
satellite communication (SATCOM) technology and services to support
the DoD across land, air, maritime, space and cyberspace domains.
The Company has been working with the U.S. Army for more than three
decades, beginning as a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)
awardee. The establishment of a Viasat APG office will further
enhance Viasat's collaboration with Army customers and deepen its
understanding of the technical and operational needs to support
soldiers' changing missions.
"We are extremely proud of our 35+ year partnership with the
U.S. Army and the collaborative work that's being done to deliver
technologies and capabilities to enable mission success and keep
soldiers safe," said Craig Miller,
president of Viasat Government Systems. "Opening an office near the
C5ISR campus at Aberdeen Proving
Ground demonstrates Viasat's commitment to the Army's
network transformation efforts. Having a permanent presence at APG
will help us better support the Army's programs and provide
capabilities to meet the needs of today's soldiers. We're focused
on bringing innovative, mission-centric solutions to help solve our
nation's most critical defense communications
challenges."
In addition to workspace for Viasat employees, the new APG
office includes a lab and warehouse that will support the onsite
development, testing, and support of advanced networking and SATCOM
capabilities. Viasat is hosting an official opening event at the
office today with a select group of invited guests including
