Tech Comm, Inc. of Sunrise, Florida, designs and manufactures airborne, seaborne and ground-based radio direction finder (DF) equipment. This equipment is used by military and intelligence agencies, both U.S. and foreign, for reconnaissance, surveillance, interception and targeting.
We also design and manufacture the highly specialized, environmentally hardened DF antennas for use with DF processors.
Recent military craft using our DF processors and antennas include the following:
C-130 Hercules
Coast Guard 87-foot Patrol Boat
V-22 Osprey
SOKOL 3 Helicopter
Marine Corps UH1 Helicopter
CH53 Helicopter
We are a leading supplier to the Coast Guard in its expanded anti-terrorism role. Major programs using our DF processors and antennas include:
- White Hull Fleet (Tech Comm equipment currently undergoing trials)
- Deep Water Program (Tech Comm supplying initial evaluation unit)
In addition, Tech Comm's development and supply of special purpose DF systems in unique airborne platforms and unconventional shipboard applications have provided enhanced capabilities in support of covert U.S. military operations and international law enforcement activities.
In recent years Tech Comm has undertaken an extensive, self-financed, redesign program incorporating in our products leading-edge technologies and capabilities, while at the same time increasing the flexibility and efficiency of our manufacturing processes. The success of this redesign program has coincided with U.S defense and intelligence agencies' urgent need for increased reconnaissance, surveillance and interception. In combat areas, our DF hardware has proved highly popular with armed forces personnel and cost-saving for Dept. of Defense purchasers. The success and cost-effectiveness of Tech Comm airborne DF equipment in use by our Special Operations Forces has led to DoD request for inclusion of Tech Comm equipment in major new aircraft programs and recommendation by the Marines that Tech Comm DF systems be incorporated in their mobile ground platforms. In the latter connection, Tech Comm has also undertaken a major internally-financed program to develop a miniaturized broadband unit that can be carried by ground forces. The first units of this innovative ManPak design are being delivered in the 4th quarter of 2006.
