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.
Spectranetix has received a $28.7 million contract to develop a software-defined C4ISR/EW Modular Open Suite Of Standards (CMOSS) family-of-systems for fixed site, mounted and dismounted EW, offensive cyber and SIGINT missions for the US Army.
The firm fixed prototype project agreement has been awarded through an agreement with the Consortium Management Group on behalf of the Consortium for Command, Control and Communications in Cyberspace.
These army CMOSS standard (and air force Sensor Open Systems Architecture standard) software-defined radio systems will be adaptable to rapidly add capabilities to the field to combat evolving threats.
Work on this contract is expected to be complete by November 2020.
