Comtech Systems will provide services to support continued fielding of the U.S. Army's AN/TRC-170 terminals. These services will include the inspection and repair of the terminals, and installation of the recently purchased AN/TRC-170 modem upgrade kits. Comtech will also provide formal classroom and practical hands-on training for personnel operating the upgraded AN/TRC-170 terminals. Comtech engineers will support Army field tests and network exercises, and engineering services on Department of Defense troposcatter systems other than AN/TRC-170.
Fred Kornberg, President and Chief Executive Officer of Comtech Telecommunications Corp., said, "We are extremely pleased by the additional funding, which further demonstrates Comtech's expertise and knowledge in troposcatter communications systems and the U.S. Army's satisfaction with our services and support provided under this contract. We look forward to continuing our efforts on this important program."
