MUOS covers everywhere, supporting warfighters worldwide on patrol in hostile environments, whether urban, canyon, mountains, or jungles - or even the Arctic Circle.

The system includes four ground station facilities positioned worldwide, each equipped with three freestanding antennas that act like cellphone switches, receiving radio calls relayed through the MUOS satellites. Our efforts provide the user-entry and integrated ground segments for the system, which will replace the military\'s current narrowband tactical communications system.
