Comtech Systems has received a follow-on order for shipboard troposcatter systems for the US military, the company announced on 10 April.
The system supports offshore, beyond-the-horizon communications for ships underway.
The shipboard side of the system is a self-contained terminal featuring a three-axis stabilised antenna in conjunction with Comtech's tropo radio terminal. This terminal is designed to be deployed on and off a variety of vessels quickly to give operators maximum mission flexibility.
The shore-side terminal uses Comtech Systems' Modular Transportable Transmission Tropo System, including its tracking Ultra tropo antenna and its 1Kw solid amplifiers.
The system provides voice, video and data communications to vessels more than 50 nautical miles offshore, enabled by Comtech Systems' advanced 50Mb/s digital troposcatter modem.
Clavister CyberArmour, an integrated defence cybersecurity system, will be used on BAE Systems Hägglunds’ CV90 platform in deployments with a Scandinavian country, as well as in an eastern European nation.
The tactical satellite (TacSat) is an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) system and will participate in exercises in 2025.
The airborne three-domain, the two ground-based and the ¼ ATR OpenVPX-based cross-domain systems were engineered to provide real-time security across multi-domain operations.
DARPA’s Mission-Integrated Network Control (MINC) programme was set up to develop an autonomous tactical network and enable critical data flow in contested environments.
Why space is an essential part of modern military capabilities
Defence-secure mixed reality headsets can save hours, or even weeks, of travel time to fix defunct equipment or get subject experts effectively “on-site” where they are needed.
