Communications
A Secure Lifeline When It Matters
When a warfighter or astronaut makes a call, they can count on our communications systems to deliver their messages securely, every time.
Our communications systems use advanced encryption, waveforms and anti-jam technology to ensure critical messages are delivered regardless of distance, dangerous terrain, or enemy interference.
Products
We deliver secure voice and data communications products when the mission depends on it.
Radios
Our radios ensure planes land safely, isolated personnel are found, and soldiers have the secure communications they need to go where no one else can.
Space Communications
Our spaceborne communications and electronics products enable spacecraft to transmit data, receive GPS signals and allow astronauts to talk to mission control.
SATCOM On-The-Move Antennas
Our SATCOM On-the-Move antennas provide secure, beyond-line-of-sight communications for wheeled and tracked vehicles, high speed boats, aircraft and UAVs.
Featured Programs
From the soldier making a call from the mountains to the astronaut receiving a message from mission control, we provide reliable communications systems for the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, Space Force, NASA and others.
Next Generation Survival Radio
The U.S. Air Force has selected General Dynamics Mission Systems to be the single developer and provider of the Next Generation Survival Radio (NGSR). The Next Generation Survival Radio will be designed to deliver secure, end-to-end communications for combat search and rescue missions to help locate, authenticate, and communicate with personnel who become isolated.
Mobile User Objective Systems (MUOS)
MUOS is a next-generation satellite communications system providing voice and data communications for U.S. forces anytime, anywhere.
Rescue 21
Rescue 21 is the U.S. Coast Guard’s advanced direction-finding communications system. The system was created to better locate mariners in distress and save lives.
Communications for Armored Vehicles
General Dynamics is developing network equipment for the U.S. Army's Armored Formation On-The-Move Network pilot program to provide soldiers with secure communications on the battlefield.
Artemis Missions
General Dynamics built the S-Band Transponders and emergency radios for the Orion spacecraft. When Orion’s crew makes its first trip to space, our transponders will keep the astronauts connected to mission control.
Communications for Ships & Submarines
The four-channel Digital Modular Radio (DMR), AN/USC-61(C) is currently deployed on 12 different U.S. ship and submarine platforms.
Emergency Air Traffic Control Communications
General Dynamics is providing URC-300E transceivers for the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Emergency Transceiver Replacement program.
Discover Our Legacy
Over the past 60 years, General Dynamics has produced groundbreaking communications systems that left their mark on history.
Mobile Subscriber Equipment
The U.S. Army's Mobile Subscriber Equipment (MSE) network, which paved the way for modern cellular communications, was built by General Dynamics.
Apollo Missions
The Apollo S-Band Transponder that transmitted Neil Armstrong's first words from the moon was built by General Dynamics.
Voyager Missions
General Dynamics built the Voyager 1 and 2 radios which provide two-way communications between the spacecraft and Earth to this day.
