The US Army is poised to begin field tests on a new suite of satellite communication (satcom) equipment for the service’s Expeditionary Signals Battalion-Enhanced (ESB-E) units, which will result in those units receiving organic communications capability for the first time.

The three communications systems being fast-tracked for experimentation focus on the ESB-E programme’s satellite baseband hardware and mobile expeditionary satcom terminals, said Paul Mehney, director of public communications at Program Executive Office Command, Control, Communications-Tactical (PEO C3T).

Programme officials with the army’s Program Manager Tactical Network (PM Tactical Network), in conjunction with the US Army Futures Command’s Network Cross-Functional Team (N-CFT), in June awarded PacStar, Klas, and Dtech Labs support contracts, to provide network and mobile communication hardware for the three ESB-S systems slated for field tests. Army officials plan to field a total of 24 new network communication systems, one for each of the service’s ESB-E units.
