PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Malibu Division of Communications & Power Industries LLC (CPI) recently has delivered its fifth shipboard data link with satellite communications (satcom) and line-of-sight (LOS) communications capabilities to a European defense organization. This delivery marks a milestone in a multi-year, multi-system program for CPI Malibu Division that required the development of reliable cutting-edge technology capable of operating under challenging nautical conditions.
The dual-mode Ku-band data links have been installed onboard ships for a European defense organization. The versatile ships are designed for littoral combat and offshore patrol and will support a wide range of missions, such as anti-submarine warfare (ASW), mine countermeasures (MCM) and sonobuoy monitoring. The combination of satcom connectivity and LOS communications capabilities will enable ship-to-ship, ship-to-helicopter and ship-to-satellite communications using a single system.
"CPI Malibu Division's dual-mode shipboard data links provide global defense organizations with unparalleled connectivity, both in satcom and LOS communications, within a single system with integrated state-of-the-art auto-stabilizing capabilities. This smaller footprint is of tremendous value for offshore patrol and littoral combat ships, which require greater functionality while reducing onboard weight and maintenance requirements. CPI Malibu Division is proud to help meet the evolving demands of allied navies worldwide," said Steve Lonngren, president of CPI Malibu Division.
