Now moving into full-scale production, the project falls under the Space Systems Command’s protected tactical SATCOM-global program. This initiative carries an indefinite delivery indefinite quantity ceiling value of $4 billion distributed among various program participants. With this latest surge, Viasat shares have effectively doubled in value throughout the current year, reflecting investor confidence in the company's expanding role within military satellite infrastructure.
