Viavi Solutions won first place in the CHALLENGE.GOV Electronic Warfare Battlefield Realism Prize Challenge on November 4, 2025 at Camp Shelby, Mississippi, beating competitors in a test that evaluated realistic blue and red force signal generation across ground, air, UAS, and counter‑UAS platforms.
The company’s T/Rx Software‑Defined Transceiver System was judged to produce indistinguishable signal environments, with a frequency range of 1 MHz to 18 GHz and instantaneous bandwidth up to 400 MHz per channel. The platform’s terabyte‑scale waveform storage and MIL‑STD‑810H certification enable rapid deployment in fixed, mobile, and displaced environments.
The award underscores Viavi’s leadership in RF instrumentation and positions the company to pursue new defense contracts that require high‑fidelity signal generation. The rugged design and certification make the T/Rx platform suitable for demanding military deployments.
Viavi’s Q1 fiscal 2026 results, ending September 27, 2025, reported net revenue of $299.1 million, a 25.6% year‑over‑year increase driven by data‑center and aerospace & defense demand. The defense win adds to the company’s growing aerospace & defense revenue stream.
The company’s December 2024 acquisition of Inertial Labs for $150 million expands its autonomous systems capabilities and reinforces its strategy to diversify beyond telecom and data‑center markets into aerospace and defense.
Management highlighted the competition win as evidence of Viavi’s ability to deliver advanced technology that meets stringent military requirements and as a catalyst for future defense opportunities.
