The Department of Defense has purchased additional tactical radio systems from Silvus Technologies to help warfighters communicate in spectrum contested environments.

The Los Angeles-based technology developer said Monday it received a second purchase order to deliver another batch of StreamCaster Mobile Ad Hoc Network radio systems to U.S. troops in an effort to enhance connectivity for data and audio communications.

In May 2020, the company was contracted to provide 1,000 StreamCaster radios under an undisclosed DOD program.

StreamCaster is a lightweight, small-sized single-channel radio system that can support a 140-node, company-scale network at 1.25 MHz bandwidth at a range of more than 1 km.

The radio system features Interference Avoidance capabilities designed to support network traffic within electronic warfare jamming environments.

“This second purchase order represents not only a significant milestone in supporting the Department of Defense with state-of-the-art data radios, but also a major step forward in realizing the military objective of providing greater capabilities towards a more lethal soldier connected into a unified network,” said Mike Kell, director of Army strategic programs at Silvus.
