The Alaska Department of the Interior awarded a contract to Infosat Communications to establish an automatic tracking system for aircraft using the Iridium satellite network for air-to-ground data links. There are 28 aircrafts scheduled to be equipped with satellite data terminals compatible with the U.S. Forest Service and the Interior Department’s Web-based tracking system. The system will provide for automatic recording of routes and mileage for government-owned and operated aircraft within Alaska.
