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).
The DACCC supports NATO by planning, tasking and executing air C2 operations.
‘The upgrades will modernise the way in which NATO s transportable shelters transmit, relay and receive critical mission data from ally nations by replacing the current communications suite with a future-proof Voice over Internet Protocol-based communication system,’ MADG stated.
