MARLBOROUGH, Mass., Nov. 14 (UPI) -- Raytheon reports it has received several production orders from the U.S. Navy to Deliver NMT satcom systems for the Navy and its international partners.
The initial Navy award for 22 Navy Multiband Terminal protected Advanced Extremely High Frequency satellite communication terminals was given to Raytheon last year.
The additional production awards received since then total more than 100 systems and spares, valued at more than $145 million, and include NMT foreign military sales with terminals for Canada, Britain and the Netherlands.
Raytheon's NMT system is a family of multi-banded ship, submarine and shore communications terminals providing the Navy and international partners a powerful and reliable new capability in support of its Net-centric architecture.
"NMT was built upon three tenets -- reliability, maintainability and affordability -- in order to make its advanced satcom capabilities available to all services and coalition partners," said Scott Whatmough, vice president for Network Centric Systems' Integrated Communication Systems. "Last year's Milestone C decision and the subsequent production orders validate these tenets and NMT's protected AEHF sitcom capabilities."
