Thales Secures Significant U.S. Army LOCODA Radio Order Following Rapid Development Push
The U.S. Army has selected the Thales Radio Adaptable Transport (RAT) to support the Service’s Low Cost Data Architecture (LOCODA) tactical communications transformation effort.
Rapidly developed and production ready, LOCODA RAT delivers scalable, modular, multi-transport voice and data connectivity designed to support evolving operational requirements across current and future mounted platforms.
Built on a commercial-off-the-shelf and non-developmental item approach, LOCODA RAT scales production, supports continuous upgrades, and reduces integration complexity and lifecycle costs.
Delivering capability at mission speed, Thales subsidiary, Thales Defense & Security, Inc. (TDSI), has secured an order for up to 5,000 Low Cost Data Architecture (LOCODA) Radio Adaptable Transport (RAT) platforms. The Thales RAT solution, which was conceived, developed and field-ready less than four months, modernizes voice and data communications and integrates effortlessly into radio mounts across all current and future U.S. Army vehicle platforms.
