The modems would be capable of handling the new Protected Tactical Waveform, which provides anti-jamming communications for warfighters on the battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The program is led by the Army\u2019s Program Executive Office Command Control Communications \u2013 Tactical and the Space Force\u2019s Space and Missile Systems Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Space Force officials emphasized that they awarded the contract about four months ahead of schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a request for information from 2018, military officials said the modem would be used in the Air Force Ground Multiband Terminal and Army Space Transportable Terminal. The contracts are also expected to include terminals or terminal components to work with the new Protected Tactical SATCOM system, commercial satellites and the Air Force\u2019s Wideband Global SATCOM satellites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are very excited to be partnering with Raytheon and L3 Technologies Inc. to bring Protected Tactical Waveform anti-jam capability to both Department of the Air Force and Army users,\u201d said Shannon Pallone, senior materiel leader, Tactical SATCOM Division, said in a release. \u201cThis was a joint team from the start, a
