This follows an award of more than $12,900,000 in January 2008, for a total of $19,800,000 so far this calendar year. “We are pleased and honoured to support the US’s Army drive to modernize its communications network” states Alan Barker, president of Ultra Electronics Tactical Communication Systems Division.

The AN/GRC-245A HCLOSTM radio is a state-of-the-art Software Defined Radio (SDR) using the Software Communications Architecture (SCA) open framework. The HCLOS™ radio is currently shipping with 16Mb/s capacity but is software-upgradeable to 34Mbps full-duplex capacity. Ultra-TCS has already delivered thousands of HCLOS™ radios to North American and International customers, many of which are operating in the most demanding battlefield conditions. Many thousands more HCLOS™ radios are on order.
