Modernisation of the NATO Deployable Air Command and Control Component (DACCC) will be completed by 2023.
Marshall Aerospace and Defence Group (MADG) has been awarded a contract by the NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) to upgrade communications systems in the NATO Deployable Air Command and Control Component (DACCC).
