GATR awarded two inflatable satcom terminal contracts

GATR Technologies, a subsidiary of Cubic Corp., has won two contracts for inflatable terminals.

GATR won a Phase III Small Business Innovation Research contract, valued at more than $5 million, to integrate and test the Transportable Tactical Command Communications (T2C2) inflatable satellite antenna terminals with software systems in preparation for logistics demonstration and product and operational testing, according to a Cubic news release.

"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," Cubic said. "If the government exercises all full rate production purchase orders, the T2C2 effort could bring more than 780 GATR terminals to the field."
