New radio system providing multichannel high-capacity connectivity across networks. According to the manufacturer. the Ultra Orion radio solves many problems for maritime organizations, both in the defense and public safety sectors. It is suitable for a wide variety of missions such as anti-piracy, counter-terrorism and border or coastal security. Paul Zweers, Vice President, Business Development & Strategy, Ultra Electronics, TCS stated, "One of the main issues facing smaller maritime platforms, such as patrol boats, is lack of connectivity to the Common Operating Picture. Currently, these platforms cannot send or receive video or large map files and have very limited interoperability with other vessels, agencies and shore-based headquarters.
