EID to unveil new vehicle communication system at DSEI
The Portuguese company’s naval communications system is in service across more than a dozen countries. It has turned to its home nation for support in developing a new vehicle based C2 system.
Raytheon will begin low-rate initial production of communications terminals for the Family of Advanced Beyond Line of Sight Terminal (FAB-T) programme following the US Air Force's clearance of the Milestone C review, the company announced on 5 November.
Under an exercised contract option of the previously awarded production programme, the company will produce both airborne and ground terminal variants, deliver spares and provide training, installation and logistical support.
FAB-T is a secure communications terminal that receives and transmits voice, data, imagery and video. It provides access to and command and control communication and links to the Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) satellite communications system.
Scott Whatmough, vice president, integrated communications systems, Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems business, said: ‘Starting low-rate production is a significant achievement for the FAB-T programme. Our focus during production will remain on delivering an affordable, reliable and capable solution that meets the requirements of this critically important mission.’
