Los Angeles, CA-based Silvus Technologies announced on December 9 that Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) is integrating Silvus systems into its solution for the U.S. ARMY National Guard (ARNG) Mission Equipment Package (MEP) program. Silvus will support SNC with its StreamCaster radios as part of the HAMMER MANET kit.
Under the MEP program, SNC will
produce, support and field intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance
systems (ISR) systems, known as HAMMER MANET kits, as a subcontractor to Airbus
Helicopters. SNC will equip over 100 ARNG Lakota LUH72A helicopters with
StreamCaster radios as part of the ISR kit. HAMMER provides networked
connectivity for video, data, voice and position/location/navigation for
enhanced, real-time situational awareness.
MEP makes possible multi-role helicopter missions that range from homeland security and medical evacuation to drug interdiction, support, and logistics operations.
