SOLUTIONS FOR LINK 16
Lowell,
MA and Billerica, MA – October

New
alliance to focus on National
Security and Homeland Defense
OuterLink Corporation and
Tactical Communications Group
(TCG) today announced that
the companies have formed
an alliance to cooperatively
develop and produce integrated
digital command and control
solutions to support national
and international crisis readiness
and response, and Homeland
Defense missions. The two
Massachusetts-based companies
plan to offer an integrated
solution starting in the first
quarter of 2008.
“Combining TCG’s focus on
integrating complex digital
communications systems into
surveillance, command and
control, and weapons platforms
with OuterLink’s mobile asset
tracking and two-way communications
capabilities, creates a powerful
emergency readiness and response
solution that optimizes operational
effectiveness,” said Martin
McDonough, CEO, Tactical Communications
Group, LLC.
“The ability to rapidly establish
communications and control
of air, ground and marine
vehicles across multiple agencies
and civilian organizations
is key to maintaining secure
borders and enables effective
crisis readiness and response,”
said Andrew Joseph, CEO of
OuterLink, LLC. “We look
forward to working with the
TCG team to enable the integration
of powerful military and civilian
technologies into an integrated
solution that cost effectively
addresses disaster readiness
and Homeland Security requirements
both domestically and globally.”
Both companies will attend and
demonstrate the integrated solution
at the International Data Link
Society Conference -- http://www.idlsoc.com/Framework.asp
-- to be held at the Ronald
Reagan Convention Center, Washington
DC, October 16 -18, 2007. The
integrated solution will demonstrate
the ability to display OuterLink
data within the Link 16 architecture
allowing operators to instantly
and seamlessly monitor, control
and communicate with disparate
response forces.
