Envistacom was awarded a $11 million task order to provide satellite communications systems through the U.S. Army Global Tactical Advanced Communications Systems (GTACS) contract, an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement that accelerates the acquisition of hardware, software, services, and data in support of the U.S. Army.

As a GTACS prime contractor, Envistacom plans to design, engineer, install, and commission two satcom earth terminals to support theater reachback communications. These new terminals will provide additional capacity and resilience for all service branches in support of missions and exercises within the theater. The scope of work includes the preparation of the sites (civil works) as well as the installation, commissioning, training, and support of the systems.

“Envistacom is proud to partner with the U.S. Army and the U.S. Navy on this important program. It will enhance communications operations to better meet dynamic mission and training demands,” said Envistacom President Alan Carson. “We are proud the Department of Defense recognizes our broad satcom expertise and our ability to execute programs anywhere in the world.”
