Barrett partnership with Bangladesh Army continues

The Bangladesh Ministry of Defence has contracted Barrett Communications to supply tactical radio communications equipment to the Bangladesh Army.

In a $15 million contract, Barrett will provide both high frequency (HF) and very high frequency (VHF) in base station, vehicle and manpack configurations. The Bangladesh Army has maintained an annual procurement program with Barrett Communications for the past 15 years.

“The Bangladesh Ministry of Defence represents a significant part of our sales in the Asian region and we look forward to continuing this relationship well into the future,” said Greg O’Neill, managing director of Barrett Communications.

The program includes both HF and VHF radio communication equipment in various configurations, in-country and Perth-based train-the-trainer training for radio operators, system enhancements and ongoing spare parts. The contract award is part of the ongoing relationship between Barrett Communications through local partner Radiant Corporation and the Bangladesh Ministry of Defence.
