UltiSat has received a COMSATCOM Transponded Capacity (CTC) task order from the Defense Information Systems Agency to provide C-band and Ku-band bandwidth capacity to the US Air Force (USAF), the company announced on 14 April.

This will enable USAF units to enhance their ability to diagnose and respond to interference events resulting in a more robust communications capability for our warfighters.'
