$19.6M for Satellite Telemetry Encryptor-Decryptors
Jul 27, 2006 01:09 UTC by Defense Industry Daily staffThe US military’s Headquarters Cryptologic Systems Group, San Antonio, TX has issued a pair of cost-plus-fixed fee contracts. They’re buying next generation crypto-modernization compliant encryptor/ decryptors for satellite telemetry, tracking and control in 2 configurations: an embeddable solution and an end cryptographic unit. This is logical, as you want one on the satellites and one on the ground. Solicitations began in March 2006, and work will be complete April 2008.
- L-3 Communications Telemetry-West in San Diego, CA received a $9.9 million contract (FA8307-06-C-0009). Note L-3′s recent purchase of TDL, which it may be able to leverage in contracts of this sort.
- General Dynamics C4 Systems Inc. received a $9.7 million contract (F8307-06-C-0010).
