US Navy awards contract to DIS for MIDS terminals

Data Link Solutions (DLS), a joint venture between BAE Systems and Collins Aerospace, has secured a contract from the US Navy for new Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) cabinet terminals.

The $3.2m valued contract is for MIDS on-ship modernisation cabinet production.

The MIDS On-Ship Modernization System (MOS MOD) has been designed to receive and transmit text and imagery to and from military air, ground, and maritime forces.

This generates real-time mission scenarios, providing the serviceman situation awareness.
