Reston, VA, June 22, 2017 - iGov, provider of C4I systems and support programs, announced today that the Tactical Air Control Party-Mobile Communications System (TACP-MCS) program completed Production Acceptance Test and Evaluation on April 11, 2017. More than 200 system requirements were tested successfully, including line-of-sight, range testing for voice, data, and video.
“This marks another significant milestone in the successful demonstration and verification of the TACP-MCS’s performance and capability,” stated Chuck Reiche, Vice President of iGov’s Program Management Office. “The system is now in the Operational Testing phase, and we have a high degree of confidence it will be found both suitable and effective.”
TACPs are the principal Air Force liaison elements with the Army and the special operations communities. TACPs advise and assist the ground commander in planning, directing, and coordinating, close air support (CAS) missions. TACPs provide terminal attack control and deconfliction of a CAS aircraft with supporting indirect fire, Army rotary wing, or intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance assets within the area of operations to prevent fratricide.
The MCS provides four radio channels supporting legacy and next-generation waveforms with an extremely user-friendly interface. The system also provides local area network, full motion video receiver, digitally-aided CAS, and global positioning system capabilities. The result is maximized efficiency of mobile voice and data interoperability throughout the battlespace, effectively shortening the TACP kill chain.
“I can say as a member of the TACP community, our MCS is the most critical technology improvement in the last 30 years,” noted Mathew Denault, TACP SME/Lead Engineer at iGov. “TACPs will be at the cutting edge of next generation voice and data communications.”

Reston, VA, May 11, 2017 - iGov, an employee-owned company and provider of C4I systems and support programs, announced today our participation in the Special Operations Forces Industry Conference (SOFIC) 2017 from 15-18 May 2017. iGov will be displaying and demonstrating various tactical SOF technology solutions, designed to support command center, vehicular, and dismounted SOF missions.
iGov will be demonstrating the transit case-based Tactical Local Area Network (TACLAN) System, the Field Computing Device-Wearable (FCD-W)/Squad Computing Kit (SCK), and iGov’s vehicle mounted Tactical Air Control Party Mobile Communications System (TACP MCS).
iGov’s tactical command and control family of systems provide the SOF warrior with next generation small form factor, ruggedized communications, computing, storage, and networking capabilities.

Reston, VA, May 11, 2017 - iGov, provider of C4I systems and support programs, announced today that the Tactical Local Area Network (TACLAN) Family of System (FoS) Field Computing Device-Wearable (FCD-W) has successfully completed Operational Utility Assessment (OUA) during Digitally-Aided Close Air Support (DACAS) testing at a Department of Defense test range in Nevada. Variable Message Format (VMF) and Situation Awareness Data Link (SADL) was tested with various aircraft during the week-long event. CAS 9-lines, Air on Station reports, and other digital information was passed between FCD-W system and the aircraft. In addition, ground forces successfully tested video down links from the aircraft which dramatically improved situational awareness and improved their ability to process targets.
"This marks another significant milestone in the successful demonstration and verification of the FCD-W performance and capability as we move towards final system certification and fielding," stated iGov’s Vice President of Programs. The FCD-W solution supports a standard operator configuration for “shooters” and a Joint Terminal Air Controllers (JTAC). For the first time, special operation forces now have a wearable system optimized for combat operations that allows an end user device to connect to multiple C4I devices. This greatly enhances their ability to conduct targeting missions, Situational Awareness (SA), and navigation.
“The FCD-W is designed for the dismounted warrior and incorporates a suite of SA and DACAS applications, including ATAK, mobileJECL and ATRAX supporting VMF, Link 16, SADL and ANW2,” says Greg Kaighin, iGov’s TACLAN FCD-W Project Engineer. “The system is designed for multiple tactical mission sets using a NIAP-approved CSfC compliant end user device while using data and power from multiple sources.” The FCD-W kit will be available to view in iGov’s booth at SOFIC 2017 from 15-18 May 2017 at the Tampa Convention Center in Tampa, FL (Booth # 1526).

Reston, VA, April 11, 2017 - iGov, provider of C4I systems and support programs, announced today our participation in the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA) TechNet Fort Bragg Symposium & Exposition 2017 on 25-26 April 2017.
iGov will be displaying and demonstrating our Squad Computing Kit (SCK) in Booth 204. This system (shown below) is the next evolution in dismounted, ruggedized, commercial computing capability with network connectivity via tactical radio equipment. It provides the individual operator with tactical objective area computing end user devices, input/output, power sources, and software for tactical C4I integration (control of local or direct support sensors and feeds.)
“The SCK enables dismounted operators to conduct mission planning, monitoring and control of ISR, Medical and Strike assets.” says Chuck Reiche, iGov’s Vice President of Business Development. “It is a tremendous amount of C4I capability in a small form factor!”
