Collins Defense Communications and Marconi Electronics are proposing to the Navy, a highly integrated jam-resistant survivable HF communications system. ■ This experienced Joint Venture Team (JVT), if selected as the HFAJ system integrator, will provide a single point of contact with the Navy. ■ The synergistic system design combines the resources of the JVT and its subcontractors, Magnavox and Westinghouse, to produce the best possible system capable of enhanced conventional and ECCM operation. ■ Production competition will be ensured early in the program by development of multiple sources for each element of the system. ■ Commonality of hardware and software between individual platforms will minimize life cycle cost. And programmable "building blocks" will provide a cost effective approach to system flexibility to meet current and future operational requirements on a variety of platforms. For more information contact: The Rockwell-Marconi JVT Program office, Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52498, U.S.A. (319) 373-1221, Telex 464-435.
