Cubic’s GATR
Technologies Receives Order to Support
the US Army’s Transportable Tactical
Command Communications (T2C2) Program
Cubic Corporation awarded an
engineering services order valued in
excess of $5 million to support the U.S.
Army’s Transportable Tactical Command
Communications (T2C2) program, under its
Small Business Innovative Research
(SBIR), Phase III Indefinite Delivery,
Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The
services award will enable GATR to
integrate and test the T2C2 inflatable
satellite antenna terminals with
software systems in preparation for
Product Verification Testing, Logistics
Demonstration and Operational Test.
In addition to the services award,
GATR delivered the initial ten
inflatable satellite antenna terminals
to the Project Manager Warfighter
Information Network–Tactical (PM WIN-T)
in support of the T2C2 program for more
than $3.2 million. This first order for
five small- and five medium-sized
terminals is part of the Army’s Program
of Record for next-generation,
early-entry communications and will be
utilized for testing. If the government
exercises all full rate production
purchase orders, the T2C2 effort could
bring more than 780 GATR terminals to
the field.
“GATR Technologies has worked closely
with the U.S. Army to develop a
successful satellite communications
program with its unique and portable,
inflatable satellite terminals,” said
Mike Twyman, executive vice president of
communications, intelligence and
surveillance systems, Cubic Global
Defense. “This award demonstrates the
Army’s commitment to innovative C4ISR
technologies that support and expand the
warfighter’s capabilities in remote
locations.”
