April 19, 2018 -- Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (Nasdaq:CMTL) announced today that during its third quarter of fiscal 2018, its Orlando-based subsidiary, Comtech Systems, Inc, which is part of Comtech’s Government Solutions segment, received orders of approximately $6.5 million to provide tactical troposcatter equipment and to design and install ISR Video Downlink Systems for the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).

The Modular Transportable Transmission System (MTTS) troposcatter terminals will enable the Armed Forces to establish data links between island locations that were previously beyond the reach of high bandwidth terrestrial communications. These systems are an integral part of the AFP C4I Modernization plan, and will be utilized to transport various types of data from remote locations to command centers for real time decision making. The Video Downlink systems will allow the AFP airborne assets to deliver ISR data for distribution to ground-based decision makers in real time, and are designed to support future upgrades of AFP ISR capabilities.

Fred Kornberg, President and Chief Executive Officer of Comtech Telecommunications Corp., commented, “We believe the award by the Armed Forces of the Philippines demonstrates our long-standing troposcatter market leadership position and our belief that many other international countries can benefit from incorporating troposcatter systems in complex command and control systems. As the only modern field-proven deployable troposcatter system, the Comtech MTTS is a natural choice for the AFP. We look forward to the opportunity to support the AFP modernization across a range of C4ISTAR technologies.”
