The British Ministry of Defense has launched a project for the replacement of Bowman tactical radios used by its land forces and select units of other services.

According to U.S.-headquartered market analysis firm Forecast International, four companies have formed an organization called Morpheus Systems House at the behest of the ministry and will gather and evaluate different proposals for a new radio system.

The companies in Morpheus Systems House are QinetiQ, Roke Manor Research, CGI and PA Consulting.

The Bowman radio system, which provides secure voice and data communications, gained full operational status with the British military in 2005 and is expected to remain in service for another 10 years.

Additional details of the Morpheus program were not immediately available.

Bowman radios, from General Dynamics UK, are primarily used by the British Army and units of the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force
