“This new programme selection helps us deliver on PacStar’s mission to deliver secure wireless everywhere.”

The PacStar solution will support the Marine Air Ground Taskforce (MAGTF) for secure mobile computing at the battle space tactical edge with CSfC systems.

Under the programme, MCSC seeks to acquire a modular, man-portable equipment suite that will enable troops to quickly acquire targets in day, night, and near all-weather visibility conditions. This is in addition to control close air support (CAS) and Naval surface fire support missions.

“This new programme selection helps us deliver on PacStar’s mission to deliver secure wireless everywhere.”

The system is also required to act as a digital information processing and display unit capable of providing command and control/situational awareness (C2/SA) to tactical combat, combat support and combat service support commanders.

PacStar will deliver small-form factor, rugged networking modules based on its SWCP system.

SWCP is designed to provide CSfC capabilities in tactical and expeditionary operations and features PacStar IQ-Core Crypto Manager.
