Marines Getting Communication Upgrades from General Dynamics

The U.S. Marine Corps’ Combat Operations Centers will now have Internet-like capabilities from General Dynamics C4 Systems. General Dynamics will also be upgrading the Marine’s situational awareness and Information sharing abilities.

“This effort begins the transition of the Marine Corps Combat Operations Center from a hardware-based unified communications system to a secure, software-enabled command and control system that will also facilitate rapid integration of new technologies as they become available,” said Manny Mora, vice president and general manager for Battle Management Systems for General Dynamics C4 Systems.
