Apache helicopters to get ViaSat terminals

Boeing has selected ViaSat to provide terminals for AH-64E Apache Guardian attack helicopters.

ViaSat will deliver about 90 Link 16 small tactical terminals (STT) for Lots 5 and 6 of AH-64E production, according to a ViaSat news release.

"The AH-64E Apache award is a significant milestone for ViaSat in that it enables us to deliver critical communications capabilities for Army aviation while providing a logistically common solution for Link 16 needs across multiple applications," said ViaSat senior vice president Ken Peterman.
