Australia looks towards space with force restructure, investment and training
Australia is looking to improve its presence in space with a focus on communications and creating a dedicated segment of its defence forces committed to the domain.
Rockwell Collins was awarded a contract for Electronic Counter-Counter Measure (ECCM) radio modules by Electronics Corporation of India Ltd (ECIL). The component hardware card sets will be integrated into ground-based Ultra High Frequency (UHF) radios for use by the Indian Defence for Command and Control of ground-to-ground and ground-to-air communications.
The contract also includes GPS hand-held receivers, featuring easy-to-use Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) and moving maps for portable precision navigation capability.
"This is a strategic win for Rockwell Collins as it begins a highly valued relationship with a major defense company in India, an important growth market for our company," said Thud Chee "TC" Chan, vice president and managing director, Asia Pacific for Rockwell Collins. "Our proven ECCM technology and GPS systems will enable ECIL to provide a complete secure, high precision communication system to the Indian Defence."
