ViaSat
recently announced its completion of the Integrated Waveform Network
Control Station (IW NCS) it deployed on behalf of the Ministry of
Defense (MOD) of the United Kingdom.
The
IW NCS makes the most efficient use of its assets in UHF satellite communications. It
delivers voice and data assignments across the 5 and 25 kHz UHF
channels, and it will also enhance voice quality interoperability
with US military forces in theater.
Viasat
included its RT-18xx based terminal hardware in the turnkey Initial
Operational Capability (IOC) installation that it built for the UK
MOD. Another company, Spirit River, supplied the IW NCS with UHF
satcom antennas.
Mext
up for ViaSat is to implement Final Operational Capability (FOC) in
the UK MOD’s advanced UHF satcom networking. This will allow the UK
MOD to simulaneously plan and control two IW master channels.
Built-in failover redundancy will be included to ensure the
reliability and robustness of the network.
