Raytheon Company [NYSE: RTN] will pursue the Army’s next generation of satellite communications, the High Capacity Communications Capability, or HC3, with a team of com solutions providers. HC3, the next generation of Army SATCOM, is a family of reconfigurable communications terminals that will provide soldiers with high-capacity, multiband, multimode connectivity. HC3 will use current and future satellites and will be integrated into the Army’s future force communications architecture. HC3 is essentially one SATCOM terminal doing the work of five with the ability to communicate using five SATCOM bands-C, X, Ku, Ka and Q.
The company’s Secure Mobile Anti-jam Reliable Tactical Terminal is a precursor to HC3 and was the first of the military’s Advanced Extremely High Frequency, or AEHF, terminals to go into production in April 2007. Teaming with Raytheon on this pursuit are L3 Communications, Northrop Grumman Corporation and Agile Communications, Inc. Lockheed Martin will also work with Raytheon on Army networking and logistics. Each of these companies brings complementary, industry SATCOM expertise to the capabilities of the team—Orlando, Florida
