[Via Satellite 01-23-2015] Page Europa, a business unit of General Dynamics, has selected ASC Signal to provide High Frequency (HF) antennas for a defense customer in Poland. NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) awarded the procurement and implementation of the Poland Broadcast, MRL and Ship-Shore (BRASS) contract to Page Europa, which is incorporating ASC Signal’s antennas for the backbone of the HF network.

ASC Signal has provided HF antennas to several NATO member countries for the BRASS program — a joint NATO project to augment surface and broadcast ship-shore systems in partnership with host nations. The company is providing its vertically polarized model 1794 monocone antennas and model 1765 broadband dipole antennas for deployment within Poland. The antennas are to aid and manage formal message traffic that supports surface force command and control.
