increased simultaneous connectivity
Cubic Mission Solutions (CMS), a newly formed business division
of Cubic Corporation (NYSE: CUB), today announced a contract award
worth nearly $1 million from U.S. Navy’s SPAWAR Systems Center
Pacific for the delivery of switchable Common Data Link (CDL) split
Above and Below Decks radio systems to support sustainment of the
AN/USQ-167 Common Data Link System (CDLS).
The AN/USQ-167 CDLS is the U.S. Navy’s first CDL system to
support all standard CDL interfaces to enable network-centric
warfare. The CDLS is an extremely high-speed wideband datalink that
transmits signal and image intelligence data between reconnaissance
aircraft sensors and associated surface ship processing systems.
The CDL split radio subsystems delivered under this contract will
be installed on U.S. Navy aircraft carriers and will provide
wideband secure ship-to-air communications.
“The U.S. Navy requires additional simultaneous CDL link
capabilities on CVN aircraft carriers (nuclear-powered) to support
battle group force protection and Intelligence, Surveillance and
Reconnaissance (ISR) operations. With Cubic’s CDL split radios, the
system will not only offer secure communications simultaneously to
multiple aircraft per U.S. Navy requirements, but also pre-flight
check-out capabilities to ensure successful operations,” said Mike
Twyman, president of Cubic Mission Solutions. “As the proud
supplier of the split Above and Below Decks radio system, in
addition to the AN/USQ-167 CDLS, Cubic looks forward to working
closely with SPAWAR to deliver advanced data link systems that
ensure quick, accurate and secure distribution of ISR data.”
Cubic has been the provider of the U.S. Navy’s CDLS for SPAWAR
since 2003. Cubic’s CDLS provides naval battle group commanders
critical real-time ISR and force-protection information from
multiple aircraft from any location around the battle group. It
also provides 15 different high-bandwidth waveforms that can be
transmitted to nearly all variant military aircraft.
