Keeping Us Safe by Keeping Them in the Know

Challenge

Special Operations Command—Psychological Operations was faced with a pressing schedule to develop Narrow Band (NB3) Radio equipment due to the ongoing war effort in Afghan. Since the equipment is electronically sensitive, it had to be developed and installed in a test bed environment before it was ready to be shipped and installed on an aircraft. Due to the nature of evolving technologies, the design was under constant change. As a result, the project required robust quality assurance process controls.

Solution

To provide a solution, the MIL team worked for six months to complete and assemble a Narrow Band (NB3) Radio system from scratch to support the Special Operations Command – Psychological Operations. The system that was developed transmits a video and audio signal (TV and radio) via a flying P-3 aircraft that is used to disseminate information to the general population area in which the US Forces are operating.

Benefit

This technology works to fill the void on downed radio and TV stations that may have been damaged by US military operations. These systems send propaganda messages via radio and television airwaves that are intended to reduce population unrest on events effecting their lives as well as directions on ensuring a smooth transition to the new order after military operations are over. 

Keeping our military personnel safe and informed during even the most critical crises is what makes The MIL Corporation the best of the best.
