ONPATH and GET Engineering Partner to Reduce Government Costs of Communications for Naval Weapons Systems

MARLTON, NJ, February 9, 2011 – ONPATH Technologies, the leader in scalable connectivity and monitoring solutions for high performance networks and GET Engineering, a leader in tactical data system solutions for military and prime contractor applications, are deploying cost savings solutions for the United States Navy.

 The Naval Tactical Data System (NTDS) is a tactical information processing protocol designed by the Navy to automate the collection of combat information data such as positioning of aircraft, ships, and submarine targets as well as navigational information into an overall tactical picture. This vital communications link is one of the core interfaces of the Aegis weapons targeting system. GET's MIL-STD-1397 NTDS to Fiber Optic Converters are used by Naval Test and Training facilities to provide an interface that converts deterministic NTDS signals traveling through bulky, expensive copper cables into signals that can then travel on smaller, lighter fiber optic cables. GET's converters are enabling the Navy to reduce the volume of copper cables used for transferring critical tactical and navigation data while also enabling communication signals to be transmitted over longer distances. Power and cooling requirements are greatly reduced.
