SubscribeUltra Electronics Tactical Communication Systems Awarded Options valued at more than US $9 Million for High-Capacity Line-of-Sight Radios, Shelter Upgrade Kits and Spares to contract DAAB07-98-C-F505
Ultra Electronics Tactical Communication Systems Division (TCS) has been awarded contract modifications valued at more than US $9 million, through the Canadian Commercial Corporation, for the supply of its latest generation AN/GRC-245 radios, AN-TRC-190 upgrade kits and associated spares to the U. S. Army, under contract DAAB07-98-C-F505 in support of the army’s transformation.
Ultra Electronics TCS was selected by the U. S. Army for the Area Common User System (ACUS) Radio Modernization Program in 1998 to provide AN/TRC-190 shelter upgrades, including the production and fielding of the AN/GRC-245 HCLOS radio. The AN/GRC-245 radio is the current baseline for Joint Network Node (JNN) wide band line-of-sight communications in the U.S. Army.
The HCLOS radios and AN/TRC-190 shelters have performed very well in Iraq with U. S. Army units. Ultra Electronics TCS continues to deliver HCLOS radios and shelter upgrade kits to the U. S. Army. The company’s state-of-the-art HCLOS radio is now a key RF backbone of the U. S. Army’s modularity transformation.
