“These strategic awards further establish Comtech as a leading provider of A3M technologies that will support critical protected U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army SATCOM programs,” said Ken Traub President and CEO of Comtech. “As demand grows for our next generation A3M technologies, this contract vehicle will allow the Department of Defense (“DoD”) to increase production order requests for A3M modems for years to come.”
