This $11,224,703 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract was awarded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to Viasat Inc. to support the Protected Forward Communications (PFC) research and development program. The PFC program aims to develop an integrated communications system to enable small unit tactical operations to persist in electronic warfare conditions.
As the prime contractor, Viasat will conduct the design, development, and testing of the PFC system. Viasat has subcontracted with Trellisware Technologies Inc. and Arizona State University to support the concept development, system requirements, and conceptual design phases of the project. The original contract opportunity was a broad agency announcement that allowed for a wide range of innovative proposals to advance the PFC program goals. No set-aside was used for this award.
