The Comtech EF Data Corporation said in a statement on Tuesday it will install advanced interface data transfer gear on US Navy warships, submarines and some shore facilities.

It will offer naval commanders secure command, control and communications capabilities that will allow the exchange of tactical data, imagery, real-time video, battlefield maps and targeting information, according to published reports.
