Ottawa, CANADA – CCC is pleased to announce it was awarded a United States Department of Defense (U.S. DoD) contract to supply the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime Columbus with Tactical/Manpack Near Vertical Incidence Skywave (NVIS) antennas manufactured by Valcom Manufacturing. DLA Land and Maritime, headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, is tasked with providing land-based and maritime weapons systems to the U.S. Army, Navy, and Marine Corps.
Valcom’s Tactical/Manpack NVIS antenna is specifically designed to optimize communication in conditions where traditional line-of-sight radios might fail. It ensures short-range communication by bouncing radio waves off the ionosphere, making it ideal for terrain-challenging environments. Its portable and rugged design are suitable for military operations that require reliability in challenging weather conditions, making the Tactical/Manpack NVIS antenna is an effective tool for maintaining uninterrupted communication in tactical scenarios.
Based in Guelph, Ontario, Valcom Manufacturing specializes in the design and manufacturing of antennas. It also offers custom fabrication and assembly of Power Conditioners and Remote Electronic Data Collection Platforms, as well as services for Repair and Overhaul of Land Tactical Communications Equipment. The company serves a diverse client base across various industries, including aerospace, automotive, and electronics.
CCC is U.S. DoD’s designated contracting authority for purchases from Canada over $250,000 USD. Through the free U.S. DoD Prime Contractor service, CCC enables Canadian businesses like Valcom to supply the U.S. DoD with made-in-Canada solutions and facilitates U.S. DoD buying commands to procure from Canada.
