ViaSat offers a comprehensive set of training courses and technical support by telephone.
ViaSat offers a variety of training programs to meet customers' applications of Link 16, MIDS LVT(1) and MIDS LVT (2) terminals, and related software and equipment. These training courses are fully customizable to meet your needs or you can choose from our standard course offerings. Training is available to individual students or groups, at your location or ViaSat's Carlsbad, California facility, based on required needs.
We also offer instructional classes for the Link 16 Environment Gateway Stimulator (LEGS) software suite that supports the operation, testing, troubleshooting, and demonstration of a variety of MIDS and JTIDS Link 16 terminals. The software provides the man-machine interface (MMI) between a user and the Link 16 terminal by connecting through the X.25, 1553, and/or Ethernet interfaces.
