Leonardo DRS Continues to be Top Provider of Commercial SATCOM to U.S. Federal Government

October 2019

With the recent win of a major U.S. Department of Defense commercial satellite communications (COMSATCOM) contract, Leonardo DRS continued its fifth consecutive year as the top provider of COMSATCOM to the U.S government. Leonardo DRS achieved this notable position through its dedication to delivering best value information and communications technology (ICT) solutions.

The utilization of commercial satellites for customer communication needs has been a strength of the Leonardo DRS Global Enterprise Solutions (GES) business for more than 20 years.  In that time it has developed unparalleled success in engineering, managing, and supporting large-scale, mission-critical global communications by combining the strengths of top satellite operators, teleport operators, terrestrial transport providers, satellite equipment manufacturers, and skilled small business partners.

The company understands its customer needs and builds solutions that take advantage of its global communications network; an RMF-authorized, carrier-grade MPLS global network with redundant, self-healing fiber circuits connected to globally dispersed Internet Points of Presence (PoPs) and globally diverse teleports that provide redundant access to the entire COMSAT and MILSAT arc.

“Understanding our customer needs and delivering an entire, resilient global communications solution that includes the dedicated support of our entire team is our priority,” said David Fields, Senior Vice President of the Global Enterprise Solutions business.  “It is much more than just providing satellite bandwidth, our behind-the-scene work is what makes us proud to be the consistent leader in commercial satellite communications over the last five years.”
