TEWKSBURY, MA--(Marketwire - July 13, 2010) - Tactical Communications Group (TCG), the leading independent provider of tactical data link ("TDL") software solutions for military test, training and operational applications worldwide, today announced that Northrop Grumman awarded TCG a contract for multiple TCG BOSS™ systems for use by Northrop Grumman in its Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (Joint STARS) program.
Joint STARS is a highly effective United States Air Force battle management and command and control aircraft that tracks ground vehicles and aircraft, collects imagery, and relays tactical pictures to ground and air theater commanders by using sophisticated tactical data link communication technology, including Link 16 communication systems.
Northrop Grumman selected TCG's BOSS software solution to conduct comprehensive testing for compliance with Link 16 standards related to new modifications being made to the mission operating systems of the Joint STARS aircraft, including integration changes related to the new MIDS-JTRS terminal on these Joint STARS aircraft.
"Having Northrop Grumman choose TCG's BOSS solution as its sole provider for simulation and testing of Link 16 capabilities is testament to TCG's robust and technologically advanced product capabilities," said Marty McDonough, President and CEO of TCG. "We are very proud to have multiple BOSS systems in use by Northrop Grumman, and believe this further supports the position of BOSS as the de-facto 'gold standard' with the military testing community worldwide. We look forward to working closely with Northrop on this important program for the benefit of our joint warfighter customers."
