Comtech Telecommunications’ Command & Control Technologies group, through its subsidiary, Comtech Mobile Datacom Corporation, has received $4.2 million in rapid innovation funding from the US Army.
The funding has been awarded to develop an enhanced version of Comtech’s next-generation MT-2025 Blue Force Tracking (BFT) satellite terminal that will incorporate a dual-mode BFT satellite transceiver and new antenna nulling technology.
Comtech's next-generation MT-2025 transceiver, which is also known as the Blue Force Tracker-2 High Capacity (BFT-2-HC) Satellite Transceiver, meets BFT-2 protocols, provides best-in-class reliability and is fully backward compatible with the U.S. Army's Blue-Force Tracking-1 system (BFT-1). Comtech currently provides sustaining support for the U.S Army’s BFT-1 system and previously shipped over 100,000 BFT-1 mobile satellite transceivers.
