Project Manager Tactical Network VSAT IV Contract Scope

The tactical communications and integrated satellite infrastructure services provider said Tuesday the Project Manager Tactical Network, or PM TN, Very Small Aperture Terminal IV contract covers the provision of communication technologies in support of the Army’s global operations.

Under the VSAT IV contract, the Tampa, Florida-based company will provide services related to the modernization and maintenance of the service branch’s A/N TSC-198 SIPR/NIPR Access Point, or SNAP, terminals. Trace is tasked with delivering rapid, secure, reliable and interoperable connectivity in challenging environments. The company will also collaborate with DataPath to design, implement and maintain mission-readiness of scalable VSAT systems. The strategic partnership will also provide logistical and field support to ensure the systems are mission capable.

“We are thrilled to deepen our partnership with the U.S. Army and PM Tactical Network through the VSAT IV program,” said Greg Filak, vice president of communications solutions at Trace Systems. “Combined with our recent $21M Satellite Terminal Modernization award and the GAO’s recent decision in favor of Trace’s Global FSR contract, the VSAT IV effort reflects our commitment to PEO C3T and ability to equip warfighters with innovative technology to drive mission success,” he added.
