Firms Join Forces To Develop Low-cost Military Satellite Terminals

摘要

Three companies pooled their resources to develop a new line of highly secure satellite communications ground terminals for the U.S. Army at what they say is one-tenth of what it would cost the government to develop similar equipment. Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Telecommunication Systems are conducting environmental testing of what they are calling the Low Cost Terminal (LCT) system, Fred Ricker, deputy general manager of Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems, said during a Sept. 26 press conference here.
