The PIF is the gateway to the advanced satcom terrestrial infrastructure system (ASTIS) which is the basis of the Australian defence satellite communications capability (ADSCC).
The ADSCC helps in the broadcast of command and control communications and high-volume information products enabling deployed forces and other users to connect with the defence secret, restricted, theatre broadcast, voice and video networks throughout the PIF.
According to the contract, BAE will also supply test and integration support to ASTIS and act as design authority for the PIF mission and support systems.
