    Civilian contractor Douglas Kummings - deployed to train and support Distributed Tactical Communications System users in Afghanistan - demonstrates the DTCS "radio only" handset and accessories. Kummings, a DTCS program field service representative, is also a Gunnery Sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. He is one of several NSWC Dahlgren Division civilian engineers - government employees and contractors - who have been working with warfighters in Afghanistan to evaluate and field the Netted Iridium radios since September 2008. The handsets ensure a reliable connection to a constellation of satellites providing global availability for joint forces on the ground, in vehicles and aboard aircraft.
