Raytheon has partnered with California-based Cubic Secure Communications to provide Common Data Link (CDL) systems for Poland.
CDL integrates airborne and land-based data terminals with supporting equipment, enabling ground controllers to manage and transmit real-time intelligence gathered during reconnaissance missions.
Associated work will take place at Cubic’s facility in San Diego, while Raytheon will oversee integration efforts from its site in Westford, Massachusetts.
Cubic said that its CDL suite will assist MS-110 reconnaissance pods, an aircraft-equipped solution providing high-definition intelligence collection from stand-off distances and multispectral imaging capable of detecting concealed targets and capabilities.
It also enables real-time transmission of collected information between warplanes and command centers.
MS-110 can be attached to multiple airframes, including the F-16, F-15, F/A-18, and Gripen fighter jets, as well as unmanned aerial systems and larger platforms such as the C-130.
Poland became the first NATO member and the fourth international customer to adopt the MS-110 under a January 2026 agreement with Raytheon.
“This award reflects the versatility of Cubic Secure Communications and our ability to meet international requirements for CDL systems,” said Dan Moran, vice president and general manager of Cubic Secure Communications.
“Our team brings deep expertise in radio frequency technology and a strong track record across multiple programs of record. We look forward to working with Raytheon to advance the MS-110 Reconnaissance Pod’s mission capabilities for Poland and other international partners.”
