GERMANTOWN, Md., Nov. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Hughes Network
Systems, LLC (HUGHES), the global leader in broadband satellite
solutions and services, today announced that its Defense and
Intelligence Systems Division (DISD) has partnered with the
Australia Defence Force (ADF) and the United States Military at
Talisman Sabre 2015 to test its advanced TDMA waveform technology.
The Australian Defence Force used the Hughes HX System with
advanced waveform technology during the exercises to deliver higher
performance satellite connectivity than ever before and will also
deploy it in future military exercises.
"Hughes provided direct support to Army for the conduct of the
US and Australian bilateral Exercise Talisman Sabre during the
period Mar - Jul 2015," said Colonel
Shaun Love, Director Land Network
Integration, ADF. "Australia is
still maturing its understanding of deployed TDMA Satellite
Operations, and the support from Hughes was fundamental to both the
successful outcome of the exercise, and educating Army on
planning and executing operations utilising TDMA waveforms. Hughes
provided Field Service Representatives to both the Barracks and
Field COMMEX supporting exercise work up, engineering, and
ultimately informing the SATCOM architecture deployed by the
combined US and Australian Division."
Talisman Sabre 2015 was the sixth biannual joint training
exercise with the Australia Defence Force and the United States
Military. 30,000 Australian and American forces participated in
these exercises, which are the largest of the year for the
Australia Defence Force. Hughes DISD spent a year participating in
trials leading up to them.
"Advanced TDMA waveform technology is critical for efficient
global military satellite communications," said Dan Losada, senior director at Hughes DISD.
"Hughes is pleased to see the Australian Defence Force experience
stronger battlefield communications with our advanced satellite
waveform technology, and we look forward to continuing to support
the Australian Army in the future."
