The order will provide the navy’s Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) with long-term support for the TDMA ATIP terminals.

Valued at $2.8m, the current order is part of a $19.1m follow-on indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity contract and has an initial funding level of $1.6m.

“The ATIP TD mode will allow the navy to operate at very low code rates to maintain communication links in impaired environments.”

The contract is designed to continue for a period of ten years, with provisions for a five-year base and five one-year options.

Comtech Telecommunications president and chief executive officer Fred Kornberg said: “This new delivery order is to complete the development of an ATIP Terminal Direct (TD) mode that will enable the full capabilities of our previous Adaptive Coding development effort.
