The Air Force has awarded iGov Technologies with a $52 million contract to upgrade M1145 Humvees for joint terminal attack controllers (JTAC).
Under the contract, iGov will modify the Humvees to “provide Tactical Air Party users with embedded software and systems for critical voice, data, and video communications,” according to the Department of Defense contract announcement. “The mobile communications system effort will allow joint terminal attack controllers to control close air support (CAS) aircraft from the safety of an armored vehicle while coordinating and conducting joint CAS missions.”
The work is scheduled to be completed by January 2021.
