Uscg Extends Radio Upgrade Partnership With Thales

摘要

The Coast Guard awarded a 10-year, $32 million indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract to Thales Communications Inc., Clarksburg, Md., in 2005 to upgrade communications equipment in all of the service's 270-foot cutters with the Series 5000 HF (High-Frequency) system that includes transceivers, power amplifiers, couplers, Automatic Link Establishment modems and associated spares. Under a secondary Determination and Finding (D&F) contract signed Nov. 22, Thales will install medium-powered HF radios during the next five to seven years on any cutters not upgraded under the original contract.
