Diamond Advanced Technology, based in Tempe, Ariz., introduces its
next generation Modular
Tactical System (MTS), a wearable multi-mission unit that controls
mission-critical peripherals on a central display. The new unit has
double the processing speed and is four times faster displaying 3D
operational graphics, while also eliminating battery and equipment
redundancies to lighten load-out.

The MTS is primarily used by U.S. and International special operation
forces for a variety of missions including precision targeting, C4ISR,
SA, EOD and UAS/UGV control. The MTS has been fielded in support of
Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) since 2010 as a TRL-9 solution.
The MTS
Tactical Mission Controller (TMC), which is the heart of the MTS kit
and houses a computer, power management system and embedded radio
interface electronics, now employs a dual-core Intel processor. The TMC
Dual-Core provides a more than two times faster processor and more than
four times faster 3D graphics engine—all for the same size and weight
while maintaining backward compatibility with fielded MTS accessories
and cables. The dual-core processor also provides the ability for
simultaneous dual-video output and support for new radios, as well as
other feature improvements. The MOLLE-compatible TMC is worn on the back
of the tactical vest or can be configured in a pack or carry-bag.
“The TMC Dual-Core improvements are being offered to help future-proof
the MTS kit for our customers,” said Norman Lange, director of product
development at Black Diamond.
The TMC Dual-Core unit is available now; for more information visit www.bdatech.com.
