Customers

General Dynamics C4 Systems and Spectrum will introduce and market an upgraded wideband modem for the U.S. Navy’s AN/USC-61(C) Digital Modular Radio (DMR). The upgrade will allow the DMR, a software-defined radio, to host new wideband Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) waveforms, in addition to the existing range of waveforms supported.

Cubic Defense Applications, a subsidiary of Cubic Corporation, purchased the flexComm SDR-3000 software reconfigurable platform for waveform development that will help all branches of the military and several public agencies communicate with one another.
