Comtech awarded $3.6m in contracts for military X-band SSPAs and BUCs
Comtech Telecommunications Corp of Melville, NY, USA says that, during its fiscal fourth-quarter 2021, it was awarded multiple contracts totaling $3.6m from a US system integrator for X-band solid-state power amplifiers (SSPAs) and block upconverters (BUCs) for transportable satellite communication terminals.
Secure and available satellite communications are required to support all phases of a mission from the command center to the tactical edge. Comtech’s X-band SSPAs and BUCs are rugged and compact, supporting voice, video and data communications among dispersed elements of the battle force.
“Comtech’s SSPAs and BUCs have a proven heritage across multiple military systems and operate with high reliability in certified terminals around the globe,” says chairman & CEO Fred Kornberg. “We are pleased with the ongoing success of these transportable terminals.”
Comtech manufactures tube-based and solid-state power amplifiers for military and commercial satellite uplink applications. The product range encompasses power levels from 8W to 3kW, with frequency coverage in sub-bands within the 2-52GHz spectrum. Amplifiers are available for fixed and ground-based, shipboard and airborne mobile applications.
