Product Description
The
United States Army’s Movement Tracking System (MTS) provides
two-way text messaging and position reporting between mobile and
fixed assets. MTS can operate anywhere in the world giving over-the-horizon
communications to vehicles on the move. Messages are transmitted
via commercial satellites in near real-time, and vehicle locations
are displayed on computers with NGA maps. All messages are encrypted
end-to-end, including sender and recipient addresses for information
security purposes. MTS operates over a variety of geostationary
satellites and is designed to transition automatically from one
satellite system to another, as required.

Comtech Mobile Datacom Corporation was awarded the MTS contract
in 1999. This is an 8-year contract vehicle and is available to
all U.S. Government Agencies and allied governments.
Comtech has designed a spread-spectrum, packet-switched data network
that uses state-of-the-art modulation techniques and short burst
transmissions. This provides low probability of intercept/detect
characteristics to reduce the likelihood that hostile forces can
determine the sender’s position or intercept other intelligence.
To meet changing mission requirements, Comtech Mobile Datacom
developed an enhanced Movement Tracking System (MTS) designated
the MTS Plus. The MTS Plus provides In-Transit Visibility (ITV)
of units deployed in the battlefield as well as visibility of
units providing tactical and logistics support. The MTS Plus also
incorporates additional safety features and durability improvements.
