L-3 Communications Completes Successful Trials of U.S. Army Warfighter Information Network - Tactical Communications Products

L-3 Communications, working as a key member of the GeneralDynamics-led Win-T Program team, participated in tests conducted atFort Huachuca, Arizona last November. The WIN-T DevelopmentalTesting/Operational Testing (DT/OT) demonstration included evaluationof the following L-3 Communications products:

-- a 0.45m Ku-Band Communications On-The-Move (COTM) antenna system (model FSS-4180) for On-The-Move (OTM) communications. This system supports two-way satellite communications on a vehicle traveling at up to 40 mph over very rough terrain;

-- the Ka-Band Satellite Augmentation Terminal (KaSAT), employing the U.S. Army's WIN-T/L-3 Network Centric Waveform, as well as the L-3 0.9m Ka-band antenna; and

-- an MPM-1000 IP Modem, also utilizing the WIN-T/L-3 Network Centric Waveform.

"The demanding tests conducted at Fort Huachuca's ElectronicProving Ground represent a significant milestone in the U.S. Army'ssuccessful demonstrations of network centric modem and antennaproducts," said Frank Lanza, chairman and chief executive officer ofL-3 Communications. "Our jointly- developed, state-of-the-art productsare small, lightweight, low-power consuming, and deliver effectiveOn-The-Move capability to America's warfighters."

Soldiers of the U.S. Army's 11th Signal Brigade operated theequipment after a two-week training course. The U.S. Army Training andDoctrine Command's Signal Center oversaw the actual demonstration andthe U.S. Army's Test and Evaluation Command led the informationassurance portion of the trials. That phase included L-3's COTMFSS-4180 antenna system mounted on the U.S. Army's Point Of Presence -Current (PoP-C) vehicle. L-3's Ka-band antenna was mounted on theTactical Communications Node - Enhanced (TCN-E) and the Ka-bandantenna and MPM-1000 Network Centric Protocol Modems were used onmultiple deployed WIN-T vehicles.

"Throughout the trials, systems that were jointly developed by theU.S. Army and L-3 Communications provided virtually flawlessperformance in real world conditions," said John Mega, president andchief operating officer of the L-3 Microwave Group. Testing includedlive and simulated communications traffic, involving high-speed,broadband voice, video and data transmissions in both OTM andAt-The-Halt mission profiles. The network centric modems provedcapable of full-mesh IP connectivity over Ka and Ku satellite links.

"L-3 is a critical member of the industry team lead by GeneralDynamics," said Colonel Angel Colon, WIN-T Project Manager, U.S. Army."They are the leaders in development of the Network Centric Waveform,which will increase our ability to move from a few Commanderscommunicating on the move to formations communicating on the move.They are also instrumental in the design of ever smaller SATCOMantennas, which will be used by WIN-T and other U.S. Army programs."
