PacStar supports US Army scalable communications programme
PacStar on 8 July announced a contract to support the US Army Expeditionary Signal Battalion - Enhanced (ESB-E) tactical communications programme.
The value of the deal was undisclosed.
Under the contract, PacStar will deliver its PacStar 400-series modular platform to enhance agile and reliable tactical communications for the expeditionary-style warfare units that the DoD increasingly relies on.
PacStar equips these smaller units with the lightweight communications equipment they need to help them maneuver quickly from situation to situation.
ESBs support units that lack organic communications capabilities. The focal point of the ESB-E is the ESB Scalable Network Node, which requires systems to be scalable between small, medium and large configurations in line with mission requirements.
