PacStar Honored by 2020 Military & Aerospace Electronics Innovators Awards

PacStar Secure Wireless Command Post (SWCP) selected for innovative approach to enabling wireless and mobility for COTS devices in expeditionary and tactical settings

PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PacStar®, a leading developer and supplier of advanced communications solutions for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), announced today that its Secure Wireless Command Post (SWCP) solution was recognized among the best by the 2020 Military & Aerospace Electronics Innovators Awards. An esteemed and experienced panel of judges from the aerospace and defense community recognized PacStar as a Platinum honoree.

PacStar Secure Wireless Command Post is a small, modular communications package that provides warfighters with the groundbreaking ability to securely transmit classified and unclassified information in tactical settings while using Wi-Fi and LTE-enabled commercial mobile devices. Tactical secure wireless eliminates the need for miles of cabling in tent-based command posts, and enables warfighters to mount units on tactical vehicles and pick-up and quickly move as the mission requires. This ultimately enables warfighters to use more advanced technologies at the tactical edge, improving situational awareness and leading to mission success.

“Our commitment to innovation has translated into significant traction within DoD to address challenges around delivering secure mobility to warfighters and rapidly deploying command posts in tactical environments,” said Peggy J. Miller, CEO of PacStar. “We are thrilled to receive this recognition for our Secure Wireless Command Post modular communications package.”

“On behalf of the Military & Aerospace Electronics Innovators Awards, I would like to congratulate PacStar on their Platinum–level honoree status,” said Military & Aerospace Electronics Editor in Chief John Keller. “This competitive program allows Military & Aerospace Electronics to celebrate and recognize the most innovative products impacting the aerospace and defense community this year.”
