CONDOR

United States Marine Corps – Command and Control On-the-move Network Digital Over-the-horizon Relay (CONDOR)



Project Overview: CONDOR, Command and Control On-the-move Network Digital Over-the-horizon Relay, is the Marine Corps answer to current communication problems faced by troops in the field. Using a variety of wireless technologies, CONDOR will allow separate groups to communicate timely and accurate details through voice, situational awareness, and video, while traveling along their designated routes.



CenGen designed and demonstrated initial CONDOR (formerly STOM Bridge) architecture to USMC at MCTSSA, Camp Pendleton

CenGen Inc has acted as the design contractor since 2002 when the CONDOR concept was conceived. CenGen with funding from the Office of Naval Research designed and demonstrated the initial proof of concept of an on the move over the horizon communications capability and the C2 On the move Network Digital Over the horizon Relay (CONDOR) program (formerly STOM Bridge) transitioned to the Marine Corps and is now a Marine Corps Program of Record.


CenGen has built a fully functional CONDOR Gateway

It is anticipated that there will be three different types of CONDOR vehicles. CONDOR Gateways will use EPLRS tactical data radios (TDRs) to allow communication coverage beyond the current line-of-sight limitations. CONDOR Point-of Presence Vehicle (POP-V) will allow individual units to connect to a tactical data network using TDR other than EPLRS. CONDOR Jump Command and Control (C2) Vehicle will act as a mobile command post with data communications capability.
