September 23, 2026

Viasat Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT), a global leader in satellite communications (SATCOM), today announced it was awarded, through its subsidiary Inmarsat Government, Inc., the Marine Enterprise Commercial Satcom Satellite Services (MECS2) contract from the U.S. Space Force Commercial Satellite Communications Office (CSCO). Viasat has received an initial $42 million task order award under what is a seven-year, up to $307 million ceiling Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract through which Viasat will provide fully managed, end-to-end global satellite services for the United States Marine Corps (USMC).

The award builds on Viasat’s history of providing managed SATCOM services to the USMC, as well as continued access to a global, resilient terrestrial network for secure data transport. Viasat’s government SATCOM team, under the company’s Communication Services segment, will deliver global satellite connectivity services across L-, Ku, and Ka-bands through flexible terminal solutions and satellites across orbits from Viasat and its ecosystem partners. These services are designed to support USMC communications and mission requirements with reliable and secure connectivity for multi-domain operations across land, air and sea.

As part of its commitment to delivering a fully integrated solution, Viasat has teamed with multiple providers to enable resilient, high-capacity and multi-orbit connectivity with a cost-effective structure that can scale to support a wide range of mission applications. This service will provide access to Viasat’s integrated global Ka-band network, which includes the next-generation ViaSat-3 satellites for ultra-high-capacity and the flexibility to quickly direct capacity to high-concentration activity hotspots.

“We’re extremely proud the Marine Corps has selected Viasat to continue as its trusted partner for enterprise, multi-orbit SATCOM services,” said Victor Farah, Senior Vice President of Government Solutions and Services. “Our team is committed to delivering an information advantage through flexible, high-performance and secure connectivity that will support the communications demands of rapidly evolving and expeditionary operations.”

Viasat will provide secure data custody from the edge back to the Marine Corps Enterprise Network via Viasat’s worldwide terrestrial network. The fully managed Viasat service will also include 24x7x365 Network Operations Center (NOC) and Security Operations Center (SOC) support to provide the USMC with bandwidth management, terminal inventory management, network performance monitoring and cybersecurity services.

“In the modern warfare environment, there is a critical need to maintain information dominance across the battlespace. We are excited to continue supporting this objective by providing a comprehensive enterprise solution that leverages Viasat’s expertise and ecosystem to meet current USMC technology needs, as well as the ability to scale with new, integrated technologies and platform capabilities for the future,” said Qasim Rana, Vice President of Market Entry for Government.
