(Torreycom), formerly Torrey Science Corp., announced today that the U.S. Army has ordered an aircraft demonstration unit from the company to demonstrate the proposed MUBLCOM MUBLCOM Multiple Path Beyond Line-of-sight Communications voice/data communication system. This is the company's second order for the MUBLCOM communication system. The first system is scheduled to be launched late this year. MUBLCOM provides secure mobile communications directly between small hand-held terminals used by forces in the field. The system supports combat networks and other special mission requirements, including long-range surveillance, fire support and command communications. The contract for the airborne communication relay and handheld units for the Army is valued at $453,000.

"This brings closer to reality our intention to establish a business teamed with Orbital orbital Mathematical expression, called a wave function, that describes properties characteristic of no more than two electrons near an atomic nucleus or molecule. An orbital can be considered a three-dimensional region in which there is a 95% probability of finding an Sciences to provide worldwide communications services to commercial and government customers. Overall, this project could lead to a satellite-based system capable of meeting both government and commercial communication needs while financed by the private sector."
