Cubic Corp. has been awarded a $1 million Navy contract for Common Data Link (CDL) systems.
Cubic will provide switchable CDL split Above and Below Decks radio systems to support the AN/USQ-167 Common Data Link system, according to a Cubic news release.
“The U.S. Navy requires additional simultaneous CDL link capabilities on CVN [nuclear-powered] aircraft carriers to support battle group force protection and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance operations,” Cubic’s senior vice president, Mike Twyman, said. “With Cubic’s CDL split radios, the system will not only offer secure communications simultaneously to multiple aircraft per U.S. Navy requirements, but also pre-flight check-out capabilities to ensure successful operations.”
