AAI Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and ViaSat will work together to develop a beyond-line-of-sight satellite communications technology to be used in a new unmanned AAI aircraft. UAS specializes in the design and manufacturing of unmanned aircraft. It is a division of Textron Systems.
The project seeks to combine airborne and terrestrial satellite communications solutions from ViaSat and the advanced aircraft command and control technologies from AAI. The project will also use ViaSat’s Internet Protocol-based security and networking technology.
The Forward Airborne Secure Transmission and Communication (FASTCOM) system is a joint project of ViaSat, AAI Unmanned Aircraft Systems and Overwatch. The wireless cellular network ensures safe transmission of smartphone data. The 3rd and 4th generation communications capability of the network is expected to improve military communications in battlefields.
Steven Reid, AAI Unmanned Aircraft Systems' President and General Manager, said that collaborating with ViaSat will help the company maintain its competitiveness in system development and integration. The UAS will play a crucial role in the battlefield, he said.
Paul Baca, ViaSat Global Mobile Broadband’s Vice President and General Manager, said that the satellite carrier is capable of providing dedicated bandwidth for transmission of UAS video in the battlefield.
