As Lockheed Senior Program Manager for the Kuwait Secure Mobile
Radiotelephone System, I delivered a quarter million dollars worth of STORNO
UHF
handhelds to the Ministry. The Ministry performed a test of a plethora of
radios by
burying them in the hot sand for a few weeks. When they dug them up, only
the STORNO units worked! That was THEIR selection process.
Another company provided the automobile mobiles; that was AEROTRON. They
were bought out by someone not too far past that time. Base stations
colocated
with the microwave sites were from QUINTRON.
I "think" Saddam stole all of it when he invaded. Does anyone know what
happened to all the microwave sites we distributed all over Kuwait? I have
tried to see the towers on GOOGLE EARTH to no avail.
