TCS to furnish wireless comms support to Marines

The Marine Corps will provide $16.1 million in incremental funding to TeleCommunication Systems to furnish it with secure communications technology for tactical use, the company said March 8.

Under the contract, TCS will furnish deployed engineering services for its wireless point to point link (WPPL) systems in theater, the company said.
