Space and Terrestrial Communications Directorate

As the focal point for the Army's tactical communications systems, the Space & Terrestrial Communications Directorate's (S&TCD) mission is to acquire, develop and integrate secure seamless tactical communications for the digitized battlefield. S&TCD performs research, development, and engineering functions in all aspects of terrestrial, avionics, and space-dependent communications technology to include adaptive, reliable seamless battlefield communications with full electronic counter-countermeasures capability and information security (INFOSEC). By harnessing the potential of communications systems technology, S&TCD is able to meet near- term needs of our warfighters, as well as prepare for the needs of the 21st Century Force.
