L-3 Communications To Provide TT&C Hardware For Space Test Program

C/NOFS is the ionospheric scintillation forecast tool of the future. It is intended to alert U.S. warfighters of impending UHF and L-band satellite communication outages, GPS navigation degradations and space-based radar tracking errors caused by radio signal fluctuations.

San Diego - Apr 22, 2002
The Conic enterprise of L-3 Communications' newly formed Telemetry-West division announced today that it has been awarded a contract from Spectrum Astro, Inc. (SAI) to provide Telemetry, Tracking and Control (TT&C) hardware for the Space Test Program's (STP) Communication/Navigation Outage Forecasting System (C/NOFS) program.

The hardware, which includes a Space-Ground Link System (SGLS) transponder with embedded encryption/decryption as well as a receiver/decryptor, complements current Air Force programs and builds on existing synergies between L-3 and Spectrum Astro.

"We're very excited to have the opportunity to provide additional space hardware to SAI," said Alan Howell, vice president of business development at L-3 Telemetry-West. "This is a great fit for both companies and continues the strong relationship developed on the previously awarded Coriolis program."

"L-3 's performance on the Coriolis program was outstanding," said Bob Shimel, subsystem lead for RF equipment at SAI. "We congratulate L-3 on a successful program and look forward to a continued strong business relationship as we move forward on the C/NOFS program."
