DataPath, Inc. has received US$8.7M in delivery orders for continued support and enhancements to the U.S. Marine Corps’ Support Wide Area Network (SWAN) programs. Under the delivery orders, DataPath will upgrade VSAT flyaway systems and Satellite Transportable Terminals (STTs). The company will also provide spares kits, training programs and other services and support. The contracting authority for the SWAN delivery orders is Program Manager WIN-T’s Commercial SATCOM Terminal Program at the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command in Fort Monmouth, N.J.
SWAN is an integrated, IP-based communications system that uses commercial satellite terminals, network baseband equipment, wireless systems, software and support personnel to provide forward-deployed Marines with robust communications capabilities. The various SWAN programs provide connectivity for the delivery of mission-critical communications, such as surveillance video from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and data support services. DataPath has supported SWAN since the company worked side-by-side with the Marines to launch the programs in 2004—Duluth, Georgia
