Rockwell Collins to provide airborne radios to US DoD
Rockwell Collins has received a contract from the US Department of Defense (DoD) to supply sixth-generation ARC-210 RT-2036(C) radios, the company announced on 20 September.
The five-year, IDIQ contract was awarded through the US Navy’s Naval Air Systems Command and includes a base award of $82.6 million in 2018 with four option years to follow. The contract also includes fifth-generation ARC-210 radios and ancillaries, as well as associated data and services.
The Mobile User Objective System-capable airborne radios will be used for DoD platforms including fixed and rotary-wing aircraft, ships and ground installations.
The ARC-210 RT-2036(C) features a software-defined radio architecture enabling multiple legacy and advanced waveforms, high-speed mobile ad hoc networking and beyond-line-of-sight connectivity capabilities. The radio provides users with clear voice, video and mission data over a secure high-speed Internet Protocol-based system.
