On April 23, Viasat Inc.<\/a> announced the launch of Viasat Tactical Mission Fabric (TMF). TMF is a comprehensive edge-to-cloud networking overlay that seamlessly augments and enhances existing military tactical networks. Designed to deliver assured, multi-path connectivity and mesh networking combined with distributed cloud compute, Viasat\u2019s TMF solution empowers warfighters to turn data into decisions faster, even in the most contested environments.<\/p>\n

Modern military operations use sensors, autonomous platforms, and multi-source intelligence to provide a comprehensive view of the battlespace. The primary challenge is then to securely process and transmit data at the speed of AI from the cloud to the edge, enabling intelligence-driven action for dynamic mission needs. This is driving demand for resilient, low\u2011latency, AI\/ML-ready networking to support autonomous operations, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), and distributed command and control. This is part of the rapidly growing, multi-billion-dollar market for AI and analytics defense capabilities, aligning with increased investment in AI-enabled systems and the U.S. Department of War (DoW) Artificial Intelligence Strategy\u00a0issued early this year.<\/p>\n

Part of Viasat\u2019s portfolio of advanced tactical network and communication solutions under the Defense and Advanced Technologies segment, TMF is designed to address this challenge and be a strategic and operational multiplier for current DoW infrastructure. Rather than a costly “rip and replace” hardware modernization cycle, TMF offers an open, interoperable architecture. At its core, Viasat\u2019s TMF provides a fully managed infrastructure and network-as-a-service (IaaS\/NaaS) capability that brings together global network infrastructure, cybersecurity, and intelligent network orchestration overlayed with existing wireless, cloud compute and mission systems.<\/p>\n

“Today\u2019s missions shouldn\u2019t be hampered by stovepiped networks or technologies that restrict the flow of information,” said David Schmolke, vice president, mission connections and cybersecurity at Viasat Government. \u201cTMF is built to help the Joint Force operate when communications links are disrupted or under attack \u2014 closing the gap between abundant edge systems and the applications and cloud services needed to turn that edge data into real-time mission decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n
