With over three decades of leveraging commercial innovation into defense applications, data integration, network interoperability and security have been integral to Viasat's mission. Today, that mission is well-aligned with the Department of Defense’s Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) initiative to connect formerly disparate systems into a unified network and enable resilient communications for sensors and shooters across the services.
When complete, it will enable warfighters to make high-stake decisions at-speed with the best available tactical information, and greatly increase successful mission outcomes.
Currently, the U.S. Military’s comms ecosystem consists of “stovepiped” networks and devices designed for individual military services rather than joint warfare. A cloud-based system, JADC2 will collect and integrate intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance data from sensors across the U.S. military, and then use AI to identify targets. This creates the potential for a vast, real-time kill chain where targeting data from numerous sensors is relayed, assessed, and distributed across service and theater boundaries, enabling strikes on time-sensitive targets with long-range fires.

See how we've leveraged our experience, expertise and technological “glue” to link data across services and bring the JADC2 vision to reality:
Viasat’s networks integrate all warfighting domains – strategic, operational and tactical – offering redundancy and technological agility to maintain information dominance in congested, contested and competitive environments.
Interoperability is the foundation of what’s needed to enable enhanced data transport capabilities. Common standards are needed at the network layer to allow users and data to move more freely between disparate systems. However, government and commercial industry alignment is needed to make it happen at scale.
The efficiencies and benefits of a single, military-wide communications system are undeniable, but will create a larger attack surface and a tempting target for adversaries. Fortunately, Viasat has deep experience bringing myriad waveforms together across its networks. Delivering over 500 terabytes (TB) of data across our networks every day, Viasat uses big data analytics on over 2.4 billion daily events enabling advanced visibility into the threat landscape, customized threat intelligence, and remediation.
Viasat can leverage its private sector experience, innovation engine, and understanding of defense to bring forward next-gen communications capabilities — whether it's 5G, Free Space Optics, or other Low Probability of Intercept/Detect waveforms — and deliver more reliable connectivity in anti-access/area denial environments.
