- CD&E- Full capability acquisition

• The first phase is over and the second phase is ongoing, withtwo major contracts signed and another one to be finalizedby the end of this F.Y.Forza NEC is going to develop a widerange of different platforms: vehicles, UAV, UGC, soldierplatform, network devices, radios (SDR), radars, EW,Command Posts and so on.

• All of these platforms have one common characteristic: theyare linked to a common network, wide, robust, secure, that isthe glue of the program, wiring and connecting almost everything

• In this network are present and have to work together :portable handheld radios, vehicular C4 applications,Command post radios, etc..

• Cooperation of all these devices and more, is the main goalwe have to achieve to get a real "Network Enabled Capabilities"
