Run net-centric web applications over your existing combat net radio with the ViaSat VDC-600 Data Controller.  Featuring a credit card-sized PCMCIA form factor, the VDC-600 works with any tactical radio to deliver the Common Operating Picture - even over severely degraded radio channels.  Take this highly portable ViaSat Data Controller (VDC) anywhere to send error-free data and employ TCP/IP services over existing radios, creating network-centric connections that link warfighters on the tactical edge to the Global Information Grid (GIG). 

Combat users can connect the VDC-600 by inserting it into their computer's PCMCIA slot and use it with any current tactical radio to run IP-based critical combat communications applications, such as Situational Awareness, white-board collaboration, chat, messaging, and email, almost as if they were at their own desktop computer.  Warfighters can also use the VDC-600 to transmit Cursor-on-Target core data elements for military interoperability, including direct fire mission, blue force tracking, surveillance results, and airspace deconfliction information.
