Under an AU$7 million contract, Barrett Communications will provide VHF equipment for an unnamed Middle Eastern military force.

Its new client has deployed the equipment as part of a planned modernisation of existing military VHF systems.

The contract incorporates the full range of Barrett PRC-2080+ VHF equipment. The PRC-2080+ systems are designed for multirole tactical military applications. This contract also included the hand-portable, manpack, mobile, base station and re-broadcast configuration.

The Barrett PRC-2080+ system will provide secure voice and data communications over line-of-sight range.

Training was recently undertaken in country, ready for full deployment within the coming months.
