Taufkirchen/Germany, September 13, 2023 – The sensor options supplier HENSOLDT has obtained a follow-up order from the American L3Harris (previously Viasat) for the supply of high-performance electronics that can optimise NATO information hyperlinks and thus the networking of particular person troop items. The contract, price a excessive single-digit million quantity, covers the manufacture and supply of an additional 100 energy amplifiers for the MIDS LVT (Multifunctional Info Distribution System, Low Quantity Terminal) information radio system of the US and European NATO troops of all branches of the armed forces. Because the first order in 2003, HENSOLDT has thus equipped roughly 4,500 energy amplifiers for the MIDS programme.
“The ability amplifiers are among the many performance-determining parts of each information hyperlink,” says Thomas Altwasser, Programme Supervisor at HENSOLDT. “This tenth order in a row is a affirmation of our reliability in addition to our technological competence on this delicate space.”
MIDS is a Hyperlink-16 communication system with high-performance and interference-resistant digital hyperlinks for the alternate of tactical data (information and voice) between NATO plane, ships, and floor stations. Thus, MIDS ensures interoperability and allows cross-force missions. The ability amplifier should assure excessive transmission energy in a small set up house and on the identical time the very best doable reception sensitivity. HENSOLDT additionally provides comparable digital parts to the European EuroMIDS consortium consisting of INDRA, Leonardo, Thales and HENSOLDT.
