MEETING THE NEEDS OF TODAY'S WARFIGHTERS

Commercial satellite communications are critical to military and government information dominance, and serve a significant role in support of the Global Information Grid (GIG). The XTAR system is designed specifically to provide customized, defense and intelligence agency-specific communications services to U.S. and Allied government agencies and military services to support and augment government-owned "war fighting" space assets.

The XTAR system also supports special operations and "Comms-On-The-Move (COTM)" for mobile command posts, small ships and airborne relay of sensor data.

XTAR meets a continuing and growing need of today's mobile forces, providing wideband services that support high intensity operations where bandwidth is a key ingredient to success. These services support rapidly deployable forces needing near real-time provisioning of SATCOM services and provide mobile and agile combat teams with high capacity bandwidth into small terminals.
