MELVILLE, N.Y. — Comtech Systems Inc. has been awarded a 10-year, $211 million contract by the Cubic Mission Solutions for next-generation troposcatter systems to support the U.S. Marine Corps.
Comtech Systems is part of Comtech’s Government Solutions segment. Cubic Mission Solutions is a business division of Cubic Corp.
In connection with this contract award, Comtech received an initial $13.4 million order to supply next-generation terminals to Cubic. Delivery of the first units will support test and evaluation for the Marine Corps.
Compared to legacy systems for the Marines, Cubic and Comtech’s next-generation troposcatter solution increases bandwidth by an order of magnitude and reduces the size, weight and power by nearly 90%, making it the highest data capacity and most mobile beyond-line-of-sight system in the world.
“We are extremely excited to be able to provide our leading next-generation troposcatter solution to Cubic, in support of the U.S. Marine Corps,” said Fred Kornberg, president and CEO of Comtech Telecommunications Corp.
“As the world’s leader in digital troposcatter systems, our next-generation technology will enable the warfighter to communicate more reliably and with greater capability on the battlefield than ever before.”
