Spectra Group Announces the Award of a Contract to Supply Troposcatter COMET to the Irish Defence Force

Friday, February 21st, 2025

Spectra Group (UK) Ltd, the specialist provider of secure voice, data and satellite communications systems, has announced a contract award to supply the Irish Defence Force with Comtech’s Troposcatter Compact Over-the Horizon Mobile Expeditionary Terminals (COMET). Spectra Group acquired the global distribution rights to supply Comtech’s Troposcatter Family of Systems (FoS) in February 2024 (less USA, Canada and Mexico which Comtech retains). This procurement is the next in a series of overseas sales under this agreement. The Irish Defence Force has procured a number of COMET systems, with more systems and the associated training and support package in the pipeline, including aspirations to deploy the new Troposcatter on the Move (TOTM) enhancement; more news on this exciting new capability coming soon. Spectra Group is attending EnForce Tac in Booth 7-360 showcasing their specific communication capabilities, including GENSS. Troposcatter COMET will also be on display at the JK Defence booth (10-521).

Tropospheric scatter is a communications capability that uses the Troposphere (up to about 13km altitude) to provide high bandwidth communications. It is satellite independent and works in a GPS/GNSS denied environment, so is suitable for use in a Peer-on-Peer conflict/Multi Domain Integration. Troposcatter inherently has very low latency and can provide huge bandwidth, enabling analysis and manipulation of large data, which combined with its low operating cost makes it suitable for strategic and tactical headquarters. In the past, Troposcatter technology required large power-hungry equipment unsuitable for expeditionary or manoeuvre warfare. However, modern technology and significant development by Comtech has revolutionised the size, weight and power of the Troposcatter Family of Systems, of which, COMET is the smallest and most lightweight.

COMET is specifically designed for rapid deployments and mobile operations, delivering high bandwidth (5-60Mbps) and long-range connectivity (70km+) while operating efficiently with just 10 Watts of power—currently the only low-power Troposcatter system available. The COMET system uses a single 1-metre dish and the COMTECH CS67Plus Modem capable of up to 210Mbps, which takes the IP stream and directly converts to two RF outputs in the range 4.4-5Ghz to provide two frequencies, amplified by Dual 10W GaN amps (Dual LNA on the receive path). This allows for dual frequency/polarisation diversity that compensates for any fading/multi-path effects and ensures low latency (typically 9-20mS). In suitable conditions, the bandwidth, range and data transfer speeds can be much greater than specified. The COMET system is simple, intuitive, and easy to set up and does not require the use of vulnerable and expensive satellites. It has been developed to be man-portable and the whole system can be established and operational within 15 minutes. The COMET system comes packed in two small cases (25kg each) that can be transported on civilian aircraft if required.

Michael Davies, Business Development Manager at Spectra Group said: “This is a continuation of what we hope to be many procurements under our Troposcatter global distribution agreement with Comtech. We have been working closely with the Irish Defence Force for some time to find suitable solutions to their strategic communications challenges and help meet their national defence commitments. With many NATO countries already operating Troposcatter systems, COMET is the perfect solution for its reliability, capacity, deployability and interoperability both on the land and for maritime vessels.”

Thursday, February 20th, 2025

As a strong partner for armed and security forces, Rheinmetall AG will once again be at the Enforce Tac security trade fair in Nuremberg from 24 to 26 February. This year, the Düsseldorf-based technology group is once again presenting users, procurement officers and other trade visitors with a number of new products and further elements of the tactical portfolio from the Vehicle Systems, Weapon and Ammunition and Electronic Solutions divisions. The new products include:

Tactical small vehicle family Ermine – Rheinmetall is showing its tactical small vehicle family Ermine for the first time at Enforce Tac this year. It represents a new generation of tactical mobility, combining tactical transport with a mobile energy source (microgrid). Ermine can operate remotely controlled and is prepared for autonomy. Ermine is based on a standardised drive train and can be configured as an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV), a side-by-side buggy or a quad. At Enforce Tac 2025, Rheinmetall is showcasing a 4×4 quad with special operations equipment and the ROSY smoke/obscurant system.

Mobile Mission Pod: Also making its debut at Enforce Tac, the Mobile Mission Pod (MMP) is designed to conduct standoff reconnaissance and engage enemy forces using small UAVs. Developed primarily for special operations, it enables maximum effectiveness behind enemy lines. Thanks to its long standby time and remote operability in conjunction with artificial intelligence (AI), the MMP is designed to be able to operate against enemy forces long after it has been deployed to the battlefield. The MMP combines the expertise of existing products as well as current technologies and experiences from current conflicts in a new product that is outstanding in its capabilities. Thanks to its high degree of automation, AI support and standalone design, it significantly expands the mission portfolio of armed forces, enabling missions that were previously considered impossible.

Other Rheinmetall highlights at this year’s Enforce Tac include:

Gladius Light soldier system – a variant of the Gladius 2.0 soldier system on which the Bundeswehr’s ‘Future Soldier – Expanded System (IdZ-ES)’ is also based. Gladius Light is tailored for special operation forces. A biomonitoring system and a mission navigation belt will also be on display at Enforce Tac 2025.

Laser/Laser Light Modules – Rheinmetall’s proven laser/laser light modules, including the VarioRay, the PTAL laser light module developed for pistols, and the modular VTAL laser module designed for special operation forces, can be seen not only at the exhibition stand but also during a live demonstration in the Enforce Tac Village.

Personal Position Marking and Warning System – the Functional Protection System Beacon (FPS Beacon) enables visible, non-visible and thermal position marking and warns in dangerous situations and when detected by laser.

Ballistic body armour – Rheinmetall is now a complete system supplier of ballistic body armour solutions. On display at the stand will be a plate carrier system in protection class VPAM7, a protected hi-vis vest developed for traffic services, a modular body armour vest for special forces, and a low visibility vest with hard ballistic protection. In addition, new inserts in different protection classes will be shown.

Rapid Obscuring System ROSY – the proven ROSY rapid obscuring system protects land, air and sea vehicles even when in motion by means of a spontaneous obscuring screen. At Enforce Tac 2025, the ROSY_L variant can be seen on the Ermine reconnaissance vehicle.

Squad Support Weapon SSW40 – the world’s first automatic, magazine-fed, shoulder-fired grenade launcher for 40mm ammunition. The SSW40 is similar to an assault rifle in terms of weight, dimensions and handling. Rheinmetall is showing a handling demonstrator of the system for the first time at Enforce Tac 2025.

Tactical pyrotechnics – Rheinmetall offers a wide variety of tactical pyrotechnical products, including the 9-Bang stun grenade and the square-shaped Spectac, both of which feature bottom top venting for maximum handling safety. 

Paramir – light and compact, this versatile signalling rocket includes different coloured flares, infrared, smoke and NBC signal variants. It attains an altitude of around 100 metres, with an illumination time of approximately 15 seconds.

Softmount Multimount – a versatile, recoil-reducing, lightweight mount that is suitable for light, medium and heavy machine guns or automatic grenade launchers.

We look forward to welcoming you to our Enforce Tac 2025 Stand 10.0-417.
