Rockwell Receives $38 Million Air Force VLF Communications Award to Modify Existing Miniature Receive Terminals.RICHARDSON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 9, 1996--Rockwell (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :ROK) has received a $38 million award to develop a design to modify existing Government Miniature Receive Terminals (MRTs) and COMSEC (COMmunications SECurity) A term used primarily by the military to denote measures for ensuring secure communications, including integrity and confidentiality during transmissions. devices for the U.S. Air Force. The MRTs will provide the E-4B and E-6B airborne command and control aircraft with a high data rate very low frequency (VLF (Very Low Frequency) See low radiation. ) mode and a supportable VLF/LF receive system with anti-jam and on-platform operator control. The initial Engineering and Manufacturing Development contract also includes options to concurrently make the MRT MRT, n manual resistance technique, a treatment method used during the acute and recovery phases to relieve pain and rehabilitate the body's tissues and muscles. suitable for use with the Minuteman Launch Control Centers (MMLCCs). The contract was awarded by the Electronic Systems Center at Hanscom Air Force Base Hanscom Air Force Base, initially and briefly designated Bedford Army Air Base, is a U.S. Air Force facility in Bedford, Massachusetts. It is the headquarters of the Electronic Systems Center (ESC), one of the product centers of the Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC). , Mass. This provides an opportunity for a future production follow-on contract, including installation of the MMRT MMRT Modified Miniature Receive Terminal MMRT Marine Mammal Rescue Team MMRT Murray to Mountains Rail Trail (Australia) in the three weapon systems platforms. "This is an important long-term commitment by the Air Force to the upgrade of the Rockwell-designed and developed Miniature Receive Terminals," said Steve Cable, vice president and general manager of Rockwell's Communication Systems Division, which received the contract. "This further solidifies Rockwell's leadership in the VLF market. We have been providing survivable VLF communication links for over 30 years."
