BAE to Provide Interoperable Communications System to Navy

(Wayne, New Jersey, May 15, 2008) -- BAE Systems will provide an interoperable data link system to the U.S. Navy that will collect and transmit in-field intelligence in real time, enhancing the situational awareness and communications capabilities of warfighters.

The company received a $9 million contract for the Tactical Common Data Link (TCDL) system, which adheres to the standards and specifications of the Department of Defense's Common Data Link program. The program establishes compatibility and interoperability requirements between collection platforms and surface terminals across armed services and government agencies.

"The TCDL system provides real-time sensor and targeting information, allowing commanders to quickly assess and respond to threats," said Joseph McCarthy, vice president of communications and tactical networks for BAE Systems in Wayne, New Jersey.
