The Defense Information Systems Agency<\/b> (DISA) has awarded Inmarsat Government a satellite broadband contract to serve the U.S. Navy worth up to $980 million over a 10-year period. Inmarsat announced the award Tuesday. <\/p>\n
The U.S. Navy Commercial Broadband Satellite Program (CBSP) Satellite Services Contract (CSSC II) covers end-to-end commercial satellite communications services. It is an indefinite-delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract. The CSSC II program is the follow-on to the CSSC contract where Inmarsat Government was the prime contractor. <\/p>\n
Inmarsat has agreed to provide managed telecommunications services including Global Xpress Ka-band capabilities and C-, Ku- and X-band frequencies, for mobile and fixed satellite services on crewed and uncrewed maritime, airborne and ground platforms. The company will also provide commercial teleport services; backhaul connectivity; monitoring and control; operations; information assurance and cybersecurity.<\/p>\n
The new contract also includes global Military Ka-band augmentation and Arctic services on Inmarsat\u2019s forthcoming Highly Elliptical Orbit (HEO) GX10A and 10B satellites.<\/p>\n
\u201cInmarsat Government\u2019s experience supporting the United States Navy under the preceding contract as well as CSSC II and operating other large, integrated satellite\/terrestrial maritime networks for the Department of Defense and U.S. federal agencies will be applied fully to the management and operations of the CBSP CSSC II network, resulting in a cost-effective, always-available, interference-free solution that exceeds the Navy\u2019s mission demands,\u201d commented Susan Miller, CEO of Inmarsat Government. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
