# USSOCOM Selects Marconi Orion X604 Radios

U.S. Special Operations Command selected Marconi Technologies to supply Orion X604 tactical radios for a U.S. special operations unit, with deliveries expected to begin in late 2026. The radios are designed to transfer high volumes of sensor data and control autonomous systems while sustaining communications in electronic-warfare environments; the signal gives no contract value or solicitation number. Separately, Marconi Technologies and Enamor International were selected to supply Orion X650 radios to Poland’s military through the EU Security Action for Europe instrument, with multiyear deliveries scheduled to begin later in 2026. These procurements highlight demand for resilient tactical communications supporting data-intensive and autonomous operations.

- Companies pursuing military communications work can use these awards as indicators of demand for radios that combine high-capacity data transfer, low-latency control, and operation in contested electronic environments.
- The U.S. procurement has no disclosed value or solicitation number, so the available signal does not establish contract scale or a path to compete for the award.
- The Poland X650 procurement is a separate opportunity from the USSOCOM X604 selection; suppliers targeting European defense demand should note the EU Security Action for Europe instrument and multiyear delivery plan.
