The SATCOM terminals feature ‘worldwide reach back capability’ and are designed to support communications both on inter and intra-theatre network.

Comtech Telecommunications Corp president and chief executive officer Fred Kornberg said: “Supporting the US warfighter is a privilege for Comtech and we are honoured that the Army has entrusted us with this mission.”

The company’s Mission-Critical Technologies group provides mission-critical, highly mobile command, control, communications, computer, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) and other advanced secure wireless communications.

Last week, the company received additional funding of $3m to deliver ongoing sustainment services for the AN/TSC-198A secret internet protocol router and non-classified internet protocol router access point, and baseband equipment.

It also won $6.7m in funding from the army to provide support services for the very small aperture terminals.
