DISA Seeks Broadband Satcom Service for Air Force One
Bob Brewin writes on FCW.com:
The Defense Information Systems Agency is looking for ways to deliver broadband data service to Air Force One and as many as 26 other Special Air Mission aircraft, with a minimum data rate of 3 megabits/sec.More here.
According to a request for information, DISA seeks commercial satellite services to replace an existing service known as Connexion, which Boeing has been providing. Boeing designed Connexion to serve commercial airlines and business jets, and the company announced in August 2006 that it would shut down the service.
Inmarsat provides additional service to the fleet with its Swift64 service, which operates at 64 kilobits/sec.
