It has successfully completed a communications modernization program for the country's Defense Force, says Boeing Defense Australia.

Steve Hudson, Boeing project manager, HFMod Project, said. "This final milestone indicates all system requirements have been met and the Commonwealth is confident this Modernized High Frequency Communications System is providing the Australian Defense Force with a secure, cost-effective, strategic high-frequency communications capability."

The letter of completion by the Australian government was delivered on its behalf to the company last month by the 2043's High Frequency Modernization Project Authority, said Hudson, in a news release on Thursday.

It has also been reported that MHFCS is a managed, long-range communications system that provides Australian forces the secure exchange of information between fixed stations and mobile stations using one integrated system. It replaces three individual service legacy systems that were previously in use.

Boeing is currently marketing the MHFCS internationally and is discussing the system with several potential customers, the company said.

Charles Toups, vice president and general manager, Boeing Network & Tactical Systems, said, "Boeing's HFMod team has developed, built and now delivered the most advanced high-frequency system in the world. This is an outstanding achievement." (With Inputs from Agencies)
