Viasat Tactical Mission Fabric™ (TMF)

Your battlefield is everywhere. Your network should be too.

Tactical Mission Fabric (TMF) connects sensors, systems, and decision-makers across domains, without replacing existing infrastructure. It enables faster, smarter, and more coordinated mission execution.

Disconnected systems slow down mission success

Critical data is trapped across disconnected systems
Communication across domains is fragmented
Decision-making is delayed in high-stakes environments

Introducing Tactical Mission Fabric

Telemetry, tracking, and control you can count on

TMF acts as a unifying layer that connects existing technologies, enabling seamless data flow across air, land, sea, space, and cyber domains.

It allows operators to access, share, and act on mission-critical data in real time, improving speed, coordination, and outcomes.

Connect

Links existing systems, sensors, and networks

Integrate

Normalizes and shares data across domains

Act

Enables real-time decisions and mission execution

Adaptive C2 at scale

Mobile mission command across Air, Land, and Sea requires a resilient distributed and cloud-connected environment. TMF augments existing mission networks to deliver scalable, adaptive command and control, enabling real-time decision-making across the modern battlespace.

Multidomain drone swarms

As uncrewed systems expand across the battlespace, networks must scale to support high-volume, real-time coordination. TMF acts as a tactical orchestration layer, enabling command and control of drone swarms without overwhelming mission networks or degrading decision speed.

Global cloud tactical missions

While GovCloud has increased capability and collaboration across mission systems, it remains heavily reliant on centralized infrastructure within CONUS. TMF extends cloud access to the tactical edge through distributed nodes, enabling local processing with global reach back to deliver faster, mission-critical decision advantage.

Built for multi-domain operations

TMF enables coordination across air, land, sea, space, and cyber, supporting the Department of War’s vision for unified, multi-domain operations.
