ITT has received a $4.6M order for several hundred of its newest SINCGARS systems from the Australian Ministry of Defense. Work will be performed by ITT's Communications Systems division, headquartered in Fort Wayne, IN.

ITT developed SINCGARS with the U.S. Army, and has produced five generations of the combat net radios with a quarter-million in operation around the world. The newest generation SINCGARS combines data, voice and geo-location information into a seven and one-half pound package that can be placed in a rucksack or mounted in vehicles like tanks and personnel carriers. Australian SINCGARS will be used in Abrams tanks and configured for long-range operations. SINCGARS technology was purchased as part of on-going modernization and interoperability plans for the Australian armed forces.

Among the various SINCGARS features are the ESIP waveform that improves voice and data retransmission as well as digital signal processing of software upgrades for enhanced features and performance.
