It’s good to know that Carlsbad’s military industrial complex is alive and well. ViaSat, Inc., a Carlsbad-based producer of “innovative satellite and other digital communication products” just won a $44.9 million contract to deliver “Multifunctional Information Distribution System terminals from The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR), San Diego.”
The hard work by our team to provide innovation and best value continues to pay off,” said Paul Baca, vice president of Tactical Data Links at ViaSat. “We feel we are a technology leader in both the airborne and ground based terminal markets because we work closely with our customer and the end users to provide products that best meet their needs.”
And anything that helps our boys stay alive while they’re out killing the enemy is a plus as well:
By gathering information into a digital view of the battlefield, MIDS provides greater situational awareness in combat for the U.S. Navy, Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, and for U.S. defense partners.
