Mark Pomerleau writes the military branch has already been using VSAT to provide Internet connection to deployed uniformed personnel.
The 11th Armored Cavalry Regimentâs Maintenance Troop has found an improvement in the distribution process for construction gear, tools, clothing and repair parts when military servicemen accessed the Global Combat Support Systems-Army system through VSAT during the field test, Pomerleau reports.
The integration of VSAT with the GCSS-Army platform also works to facilitate updates on maintenance schedules, work orders and deliveries to soldiers deployed at field sites, according to the report.
