General Dynamics is supporting technology that provides the US Army with mobile tactical communications network capabilities.
Sole contractor General Dynamics Missions Systems has received two separate contracts from the US Army in connection with Tactical Network-On the Move communication systems and equipment.
One deal from US Army Contracting Command, worth $74.99 million, covers support services while the other $20.34 million contract is for engineering and technical support to integrate On the Move technology.
General Dynamics will complete work on both contracts by 22 January 2023.
According to the US Army, Tactical Network On-the-Move ‘delivers a mobile, resilient, redundant tactical communications network’ for dismounted infantry and combat vehicles alike, by connecting frontline units with static command posts.
Tactical Network – On the Move connects with the overarching Joint All Domain Command and Control objective for the US military, via the Capability Set 25 iteration of tactical network tools.
