Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA)

AESAs deliver cutting-edge combat performance for next-generation fighter and unmanned aircraft, where size and performance are crucial. Viasat delivers multi-function capabilities for tactical, strategic and C2 platforms, enabling both beyond-line-of-sight and line-of-sight communications, with open standards for control and status interfaces.

Viasat’s high-throughput, millimeter-wave AESAs enable satellite-to-satellite links for communication and networking. Antennas can steer beams for rapid, accurate acquisition and position tracking, seamless handover between satellites, and perform on-the-fly reconfiguration of antenna characteristics enabling end-to-end terminals to communicate in hybrid orbital (e.g. MEO to GEO) environments.

Viasat’s multi-orbit, multi-constellation wideband AESAs are designed for the dynamically demanding beyond line-of-sight requirements of comms-on-the-pause and comms-on-the-move environments. Our systems provide unparalleled battlespace situational awareness that translates into enhanced crew effectiveness and survivability.

Viasat’s multi-orbit, multi-constellation wideband AESAs are uniquely designed to meet the demanding shipboard electromagnetic environment.
