Cubic receives GATR contract from US Army
Cubic Mission Solutions has received orders worth more than $55 million to deliver its GATR inflatable satellite communication and networking systems to the US Army, the company announced on 6 September.
The orders will support the army's upcoming fielding requirement for 1.2m and 2.4m GATR systems, associated spares as well as training and sustainment support.
The GATR 1.2m and 2.4m inflatable satellite terminals provide robust high-bandwidth network communications and mission command for initial entry and sustained forward operations.
Mike Twyman, president of Cubic Mission Solutions, said: ‘Cubic's GATR satellite communication and networking systems offer the transportability, high-bandwidth capabilities and the ease of setup necessary for army units to execute their mission.
‘We are proud to continue our work with the army and look forward to delivering solutions that offer tremendous operational advantages to our customer.’
