Raytheon's JPC communications technology "addresses many of the issues that have plagued emergency response for years, and it does so efficiently, effectively, and affordably. During the CWID exercise, various configurations of the (JPC's) ACU-1000 were deployed, including our mobile, tactical, and wide area systems. The beauty of our technology is its flexible design and the system configuration in the field.

"Using our equipment, responders are able to meet the specific communication needs of an incident, making it ideal for disaster response," stated Lee Martin, director of the Department of Defense and federal sales for JPS.
