Description

FLEETWERX (FWX), in collaboration with Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) will conduct an Assessment Event (AE) to identify capabilities and expertise that will provide a solution to one of NPS’ priorities: Communications for the Geo SATCOM in the Pacific Rim.

Objective

The Electrical Engineering and Communications CPO seeks to validate a networked satellite communications system to deliver low-latency telemedical services to medics in deployed environments, specifically INDOPACOM. The specific goal of this effort was to provide a mobility service for a satellite internet solution for maritime use near the region of Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI).
