Intellian Opens Its First USA Manufacturing Line; Intensifies Its Commitment to its U.S. Government Partners
EINPresswire.com / -- Intellian Technologies USA, Inc., a leading provider of global satellite communication (SATCOM) antennas and ground gateway solutions, announced today that its ARC-M4 Block 1 (AN/USC-75) is now being manufactured at Intellian's U.S. headquarters, in Irvine, California.
Intellian is intensifying its commitment to the U.S. Government's mission-critical objectives and supply chain resiliency, by manufacturing the ARC-M4 Block 1 SATCOM terminal in the U.S. Intellian has implemented a meticulous component-level supply chain control system to ensure that no components are used from vulnerable nation states, which enhances national security and protects against supply chain disruptions.
Together, these actions drastically add manufacturing capacity, increases supply chain resiliency, and demonstrates our commitment to the needs of our U.S. Government partners.
The maritime ARC-M4 Block 1 (AN/USC-75) terminal gives its users rugged, high Sea State, high-performance operations with enhanced resiliency through automated switching between MILSATCOM and COMSATCOM assets, such as WGS, and SES's mPOWER constellations, leveraging our shipboard mediation system for terminals and waveforms.
The ARC-M4 Block 1 is the first WGS-certified Hybrid terminal in the warfighter's arsenal.
The ARC-M4 family of terminals were engineered to deliver the concepts of Agile Resilient Communications – Multi-Role, Multi-Mission, Multi-Band, Multi-Orbit (ARC-M4). Enhanced resiliency comes from the agility and options to choose frequency bands, services, and orbits to mitigate adversarial actions.
Intellian's ARC-M4 Block 1 terminal is certified for simultaneous X-band and Military Ka-Band operations on the WGS constellation (AN/USC-75) without any caveats or restrictions. The terminal is also certified for use on SES O3b mPOWER, and Viasat's I5 high-capacity Military Ka-Band payloads (Cat IV). Frequency bands are electronically switched eliminating the need for manual hardware modifications by a signal's technician.
The ARC-M4 Block 1 terminal is designed for LEO, MEO, GEO, and HEO multi-orbit services, and is engineered to anticipate new constellations launching across all orbits.
Within the U.S. Department of Defense, the message is clear: single-use and siloed technologies are not viable; dual-use technology is mandatory. The ARC-M4 Block 1 breaks innovative boundaries by harmonizing MILSATCOM and COMSATCOM assets.
Eric Sung, CEO, Intellian Technologies, said: 'Intellian remains at the forefront of technological innovation, bringing forward both practical and innovative solutions that are trusted to the highest degree. Our new ARC-M4 Block 1 line at our U.S. headquarters is Intellian's first international production line, marking phase one of our expanding global capabilities. These enhanced facilities meet the needs of our U.S. Government customers while also reducing operational risk. Our on-going component-level supply chain system ensures that all components and parts are compliant with U.S. Government sourcing requirements and restrictions. We are committed to enhancing satellite communication performance and mission readiness with the agility, flexibility and quality necessary to succeed in any operational environment.'

No decision on winter fuel allowance until autumn, minister says
No decision will be taken on the winter fuel allowance until the Autumn budget – dispelling speculation that the government would make an announcement on it at next week's spending review. Sir Keir Starmer last month announced his intention to give more people access to winter fuel payments, just months after Labour decided to means test the previously universal payment. But weeks later, chaotic government messaging had left millions of pensioners with no idea what the changes will look like or when they will be announced. Asked about the changes, Peter Kyle, the secretary of state for science, innovation and technology, told Sky News: 'These issues are going to be dealt with in the run up to the autumn where these decisions are going to be taken and announced. 'But this is a spending review that's going to set the overall spending constraints for government for the next period, the next three years.' Pressed on whether that means no details will be unveiled on winter fuel next week, the technology secretary said: 'I think what you're going to see is the overall spending constraints and allowances for each government department, and then each department is then going to start talking about how it's going to allocate those.' Last week, Rachel Reeves confirmed the expected U-turn on the controversial cuts would be in place for this winter, meaning that the government will be faced with a scramble to get the changes rolled out between the October budget and the winter months. While the chancellor had previously confirmed that they would not set out how the changes would be paid for until the autumn, there was a growing suggestion from the government that details on who the changes would affect could be set out at next week's spending review. The chancellor is expected to unveil a swathe of spending cuts on Wednesday as she attempts to walk the tightrope between delivering on the party's election promises and sticking within the bounds of her self-imposed fiscal rules. Mr Kyle's comments come days after pensions minister Torsten Bell confirmed there was no prospect of returning to a universal winter fuel payment for all, saying that '95 per cent of people agree that it's not a good idea that we have a system paying a few hundreds of pounds to millionaires, and so we're not going to be continuing with that.' Winter fuel payments are a £300 payment to help with energy costs in the colder months. In July, the chancellor announced that pensioners not in receipt of pension credits or other means-tested benefits would no longer receive the benefit. As a result, just 1.5 million pensioners received the payment in winter 2024-25 – a massive drop from the 10.8 million pensioners who received it the year before. The cuts were deeply unpopular because they were seen as being disproportionately damaging to vulnerable people, and were criticised for leaving thousands of poorer pensions who were on the borderline missing out on the payment. In November, it was revealed that the government's own figures indicated it would force 100,000 pensioners into poverty in 2026. The policy was partly blamed for Labour's poor performance at the local elections – which saw them lose two-thirds of the council seats they had in 2021– as well as the previously Labour-held Runcorn and Helsby parliamentary seat to Reform UK. The cuts – combined with the £5bn welfare cuts and the party's decision to keep the two child benefit cap in place – have sparked growing concern over the direction of the government among Labour MPs.

Start your week smart: Inside the Trump-Musk feud, LA immigration clashes, military parade, Tony Awards, French Open
Every parent wants their children to be happy and healthy, but admit it: If they just happen to grow up to be professional athletes or tech entrepreneurs, so much the better. Well, it turns out that the key to raising an ultra-successful kid is not something special you should do — it's something you should not do. Here's what else you need to know to start your week smart. Get '5 Things' in your inbox If your day doesn't start until you're up to speed on the latest headlines, then let us introduce you to your new favorite morning fix. Sign up here for the '5 Things' newsletter. It's over. For now, at least. The once chummy relationship between President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk imploded in a flurry of back-and-forth insults and allegations that played out on social media for all the world to see. Trump told CNN they won't be burying the hatchet anytime soon. 1️⃣ How it started: The animosity ramped up considerably when Musk called Trump's massive tax and domestic policy bill 'a disgusting abomination.' Then he shared old comments from Republicans about government spending. Things quickly went off the rails. 2️⃣ Ugly insults: The president and the world's richest man traded jabs about policy flip-flops and the 2024 election before things got increasingly personal. These are the nastiest things they said. 3️⃣ Social squabble: Trump may have finally been outmatched — by the owner of the platform he used to love. Musk wielded his X account like a political weapon while the president tried to keep up on Truth Social. 4️⃣ How people reacted: Conservatives lamented the feud and appeared torn between their two central heroes. Fox News — Trump's biggest media ally — treated this like a mere blip in their friendship. A Washington power couple straddles the line. 5️⃣ What's next? Trump floated the idea of terminating Musk's government contracts and said he will 'pay the consequences' if he starts funding Democrats. It remains to be seen where things go from here. The president often reconciles with allies, even after ugly things are said. • Trump deploys National Guard in response to LA clashes on immigration enforcement• Russia claims to have pushed into central Ukrainian region for first time• Federal judge approves $2.8B settlement, paving way for US colleges to pay athletes millions MondayPresident Trump's travel ban that bars the entry of nationals from 12 countries into the US goes into effect at 12:01 a.m. People from Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen will be fully restricted. Travelers from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela will face partial restrictions. TuesdayNASA, Axiom Space and SpaceX are hoping to launch another private astronaut mission to the International Space Station. The crew of four will spend two weeks on the ISS, conducting science, education and commercial activities. WednesdayPoland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk has scheduled a parliamentary vote of confidence for his coalition government after populist firebrand Karol Nawrocki narrowly won the presidential election, delivering a blow to the centrist government's efforts to cement Warsaw's pro-European orientation. In a televised speech, Tusk said that he and his party want to show the world they 'understand the gravity of the moment, but that we do not intend to take a single step back.' President Trump, first lady Melania Trump, Vice President JD Vance and second lady Usha Vance are scheduled to attend the opening night performance of 'Les Misérables' at the Kennedy Center. Among those who will not be in attendance are at least 10 to 12 performers who are planning to sit out the show. The cast was given the option not to perform the night Trump will be in the audience, sources told CNN. SaturdayJune 14 is a date that will mark many things, including: Flag Day, President Trump's 79th birthday, the US Army's 250th birthday and the day that nearly 7,000 soldiers and millions of pounds of military hardware will roll down the streets of Washington in the largest military parade the US capital has seen in decades — fulfilling an oft-voiced wish of the president.
