The U.S. Army awarded TeleCommunication Systems, Inc. a contract worth $2.8 million worth for the delivery of X-band and Ku-Band MICRO VSAT (very small antenna terminal) satellite communications equipment.
The TCS contract is paid for by the U.S. Army Project Manager for the Warfighter Information Network – Tactical (PM WIN-T) Commercial Satellite Terminal Program. It is a part of the World-Wide Satellite Systems (WWSS) contract vehicle.
Reliable and secure satellite communications are critical for the operations of modern militaries. These important SATCOM services can be delivered by MICRO VSAT and baseband equipment, which in addition are much more flexible than larger VSAT units. And the TCS systems are the smallest and lightest man-portable VSAT terminals that the market can offer.
