Carlsbad, CA – ViaSat Inc. (Nasdaq:VSAT) has been awarded an order valued at approximately $4.8 million for Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) terminals. This award resulted from a competitive procurement for 30 LVT(6) configuration terminals under a Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program through the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR). The order will be for MIDS-LVTs for the F-16 aircraft. The F-16 is the world’s most widely flown jet fighter and ViaSat is the leading supplier of MIDS terminals to F-16 fleets worldwide.
MIDS-LVT is part of a tactical radio system that collects data from many sources and displays an electronic overview of the battlefield using secure, high capacity, jam resistant, digital data and voice. The system is used on US Navy, US Air Force, US Army platforms and military platforms of other nations. ViaSat is one of two U.S. Government-qualified manufacturers of Link-16 MIDS-LVT airborne terminals and is the leading supplier of the LVT(2) ground-based terminal.
