ITT Electronic Systems announced a significant milestone this week - ITT's Communications Systems business area delivered its 500,000th SINCGARS to the U.S. Army.
Translation? Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System.
SINCGARS provides secure VHF voice and data communications capability to tactical units across the U.S. Army and is the most prolific tactical radio system in the world.
ITT has developed, manufactured and supported six generations of continually improved SINCGARS radios since the first radio was delivered in 1988. Since then, the company has delivered enhanced software-defined functionality, enabling SINCGARS to meet emerging battlefield demands. Recent new technology upgrades have included the development of a UHF radio appliqué to operate the wideband networking Soldier Radio Waveform and the development of radio-based combat identification (RBCI), a software upgrade to help prevent fratricide among U.S. and allied forces.
In recent years, the company met increased production requirements for the Army during its wartime surge, increasing deliveries from 1,000 to more than 6,000 radios per month while also delivering more than 25,000 ancillary devices each month to support the radios.
ITT Electronic Systems is a leading provider of integrated electronic technology solutions for the U.S. and its allies.
