SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., 31 March 2007. General Dynamics C4 Systems in Scottsdale, Ariz., won a five-year contract to provide the next generation Tactical Data Network (TDN)-Data Distribution System-Modular (DDS-M) to the U.S. Marine Corps.
The initial $130 million contract has a potential value of $375 million. The DDS-M is a modular, scalable Internet Protocol (IP) communications and networking system.
The TDN-DDS-M system enables deployed Marines to establish secure, networked voice, data, video conferencing, and other communication capabilities among commanders, joint and coalition forces.
Based on commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment, the TDN DDS-M comprises routers, switches, computers, power supply and other equipment needed to access the Defense Information System Network (DISN), Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet) and Non-secure Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPRNet), as well as coalition and joint-forces networks.
"The TDN-DDS-M connects Marines to essential tactical networks wherever they deploy using advanced communication and networking technologies, at significantly reduced size, weight and power consumption than earlier versions," says Scott Butler, a vice president of computing technologies for General Dynamics C4 Systems.
