other than the bullets and bombs, communications is critical to waging war
Carlsbad - Apr 30, 2003
ViaSat Inc. has been awarded a $5.4 million, firm-fixed-price contract for UHF Demand Assigned Multiple Access (DAMA) satellite communications terminals and engineering support for the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) teleport project.

The order includes six UHF DAMA satcom terminal systems, one UHF DAMA SATCOM test bed system and engineering site surveys for Phase I of the Teleport UHF Project. The contract is scheduled for completion by November 2003.

The SATCOM systems will provide connectivity to the teleport Defense Information System Network, via 5 kHz and 25 kHz non-DAMA operations, 5 kHz DAMA and 25 kHz DAMA services.

The systems are comprised of ViaSat RT-1828 multi-channel terminals, UHF SATCOM high power amplifiers, antennas, and associated RF equipment.

DISA is a combat support agency responsible for planning, developing, fielding, operating, and supporting command, control, communications, and information systems that serve the needs of the President, Vice President, the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Combatant Commanders, and the other Department of Defense (DOD) Components under all conditions of peace and war.
