The US Navy has renewed and expanded production of secure communications hardware from Mobix Labs for its surface fleet.
The deal reinforces efforts to maintain reliable network connectivity aboard ships in challenging operational environments.
Under a continuation of previously disclosed orders, Mobix Labs will produce communications components designed to protect critical naval systems from interference and disruption.
These systems support secure network infrastructure that enables command, control, and data exchange during complex maritime operations.
