Cohort has stated that the contract will build on previous contracts with the Portuguese Army and provide the service with an advanced tactical communications system.

The software-defined radio-based communications system will be compatible with other Nato nations, the company added.

The Portuguese Army currently uses EID’s software-defined PRC-525 combat net radio as the standard manpack and vehicular radio.

In July 2017, EID won a contract to provide tactical PRC-525 radio systems for integration in the shelters of the army’s Tactical Communication and Information System (SIC-T).
