New generation tactical radios have a central role in
the creation of central Information Dominance. Deploying multi-mission
software programmable CNR radios provide the core system for the new
digital battlefield networks. Tactical Internet radios are required to
maximize data throughput whilst maintaining range, connectivity and
resistance to jamming in a highly disrupted environment.
Current versions of PR4G are provided with F@stnet
protocol, supporting up to 64 kbps data transfer waveform, retaining
the system's frequency hopping and anti jamming modes. The system also
supports a proprietary frequency hopping Multiplex mode (called SIVD)
offering the capability of simultaneously and independently
transferring secure Voice and Data communications in the same radio
(without prioritizing voice over data or vice versa). The radio also
supports standard IP/Ethernet interface makes through the F@stnet a
tactical internet protocol. Thales has also enabled other information
services with PR4G F@stnet including Short Messages Service (SMS),
Situational Awareness and Ad Hoc Networking capabilities.
