Congested Frequencies: How To Improve Bandwidth Access for Military Use
Military radars, military communications networks, and commercial communications networks all require increasing amounts of limited radio frequency spectrum. Balancing national security requirements of radars and military networks with the growing bandwidth demands of commercial wireless data networks calls for innovative approaches to managing spectrum access. DARPA’s Shared Spectrum Access for Radar and Communications (SSPARC) program [...]
Army advances two airborne radios
As the Army continues to advance its new tactical radio strategy, it is building on lessons-learned from the Joint Tactical Radio System program to drive innovation in radios for service aircraft. Following the recent Department of Defense decision to disband the Joint Program Executive Office for Joint Tactical Radio System, known as JTRS, and transfer [...]
NATO member orders Falcon III radios
An unidentified member of NATO has ordered tactical line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-site radios from the U.S. communications company. Harris Corp. The order for the company’s Falcon III AN/PRC-152 (C) – and accessories for the units — is worth $36 million. “The Harris AN/PRC-152 is the world’s leading solution in secure, handheld military communications, with more than [...]
Deployable Radio Frequency Data Backbone To Match Fiber Optic Capacity
Fiber optic cables provide the core backbone for military and civilian networks, enabling Internet, phone, video and other data to move at super-high speeds with virtually no degradation over long distances. In deployed environments, where a fiber optic backbone doesn’t exist, other communications modes are used resulting in reduced data-rate capacity for the warfighter. DARPA’s [...]
Digital Modular Radios For New US Navy Ships and Submarines
The U.S. Navy has ordered an additional 53 General Dynamics-built AN/USC-61(C) four-channel Digital Modular Radios (DMR) for use aboard new Navy ships, submarines and inshore sites. In addition to the new radios, existing DMR hardware will be modified to accommodate networking waveforms owned by the government. This order exercises an option on a contract awarded [...]
Army Researchers Link Ground Robots Wirelessly
Four U.S. Army Research Laboratory researchers have developed an algorithm that will make it easier for the Department of Defense to maintain wirelessly networked Army PackBots and other military assets using radio communications. The team recently demonstrated they could map the region of good connectivity to a radio base station using received signal strength, or [...]
Army to field radio-based combat ID
The U.S. Army announced it has completed field testing for radio-based combat identification capabilities, which it expects to field next year as part of Capability Set 14. Product Manager Network Systems and the U.S. Army Research, Development & Engineering Command’s communications-electronics RD&E center, or CERDEC, concluded three and a half years of work this summer [...]
BAE Launches New Family of Networking Radios
BAE Systems has launched the Phoenix family of networking radios to meet the 21st century communications needs of the U.S. military. Filling the gap between higher headquarters and the warfighter, Phoenix radios deliver secure, jam-resistant communications on the battlefield via modern networking waveforms. BAE Systems has responded to the U.S. Army’s request for a non-developmental [...]
Thales Awarded Second Contract for AN/PRC-154 Rifleman Radios
Thales Communications, Inc. announces that the U.S. Army has awarded the second Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) contract for AN/PRC-154 Rifleman Radios, part of the Joint Tactical Radio System Handheld, Manpack, and Small Form Fit (JTRS HMS) program. General Dynamics C4 Systems is the prime contractor for the JTRS HMS program, and Thales is responsible [...]
