Protecting the future of defense interests in the space domain
Space has become an intrinsic part of all defense operations — secure & resilient global space satellite communications is more essential than ever
Advancing the space domain for over 35 years
Built for breakthroughs & executing the space enterprise vision
Whether under threat, on the move, or at operational locations around the globe, joint forces operating in multi-domain environments require secure, reliable, ubiquitous connectivity, especially across space communication technology. Viasat provides critical, satellite communications for mobile forces, enables control of remote sensors, transmits real-time battlefield intelligence, and ties sensors to shooters.
Viasat provides a game-changing solution for autonomous connectivity
Resilient networks and situational awareness to securely connect the warfighter
The Viasat Hybrid Adaptive Network (HAN) is a revolutionary step forward in extending, improving, and securing space communications. By layering together many space communications systems of various types into a global, multi-layered network of networks, the HAN allows automated, intelligent routing and re-routing of warfighter communications across GEO, MEO, LEO, and other network layers.
- Layered resilience supporting the combat cloud
- Communication network agility for multi-domain operations
- Enterprise architecture for information dominance
Key Hybrid Adaptive Network enablers
Multi-Mode User Terminals
Flexible, interoperable user terminals that can operate over multiple radio frequency bands and support multiple network protocols/waveforms. Software defined terminals that can switch between multiple different networks.
Hybrid Adaptive Network Management
Monitor individual users’ mission demands and available resources to intelligently assign users to the network that best delivers required effects. Warfighter parameters drive the HAN manager to select the “best available network” based on user demands, geography, economics, and ops tempo.
Open Standard Network Interface
Specifies the structure of information that can be exchanged between the Hybrid Adaptive Network Manager and component networks. A Translation Agent at the software layer translates the networks’ native control/status facilities into the network interface defined format.
Innovation opportunities
Pilot a Hybrid Adaptive Network scalable architecture through limited deployment of an Enterprise Management System, translation agent and Standardized Interface.
