MARLBOROUGH, Mass., April 20 (UPI) -- The U.S. Army has contracted Raytheon for the delivery of radio technologies that support mission-critical communications in combat environments.

"The EPLRS-XF radio gives the war fighter high-speed, on-the-move video and data exchange capabilities for a broad range of applications," Jerry Powlen, Raytheon Network Centric Systems Integrated Communications Systems vice president, said in a statement.
"We continue to evolve EPLRS and our networked communications capabilities to deliver the most advanced solutions to our troops."
