Battlefield Awareness and Targeting System-Embedded (BATS-E)

Delivering maximum flexibility with embedded Link 16 applications

Optimized for embedded applications, Viasat’s BATS-E products deliver maximum operational flexibility as the mission unfolds. Controllers now have the ability to send target updates while in flight for secure, reliable weapons delivery – significantly decreasing the time in high-threat environments. By combining full Link 16 functionality in a compact, embeddable form factor, Viasat’s BATS-E helps controllers make split-second decisions to execute more missions with precision – even in contested and denied access environments. BATS-E products include:

BATS-E 1500

BATS-E 2000

Gain 360° visibility with real-time situational awareness data

With Viasat’s BATS-E products, size, weight and power (SWaP)-constrained systems, including targeting pods and network-enabled weapons, are now accounted for in the common operational picture. This 360° visibility provides all Link 16 network participants with the ability to see, relay, and share situational awareness data and allows for more accurate tracking, identification, and engagement so controllers have a clearer view of the battlespace.

Modernize your platform with Link 16 integration

For platforms that have traditionally lacked Link 16 network access, Viasat’s BATS-E products provide a cost-effective option for integrating Link 16 into existing targeting and weapon systems without the need for major platform modifications. This approach ensures that integration costs are kept to a minimum, while providing full interoperability with the 15,000+ platforms that are already outfitted with Link 16 communications.
