Skyware said the division will utilize the company’s existing in-house antenna and RF electronics design capabilities and high-volume production to offer solutions for fixed-, motorized- and mobile-tactical terminals for defense, civil government and commercial applications.

   Skyware Vice President David Geen was selected by CEO David McCourt to lead the new division. The initial schedule for the TGS Group includes the introduction of a product portfolio focusing on turnkey solutions for vehicle-mounted, flyaway and manpack platforms operating in C-, X-, Ku- and Ka-band.

   “We see this market as being underserved and, given the financial climate, believe we are well positioned to take advantage of this opportunity with our high-tech, low-cost credentials. Our expanding research and development department and the recent opening of a facility in Washington, D.C. demonstrate our commitment to the industry,” McCourt said in a statement.
