AUSA 2018: New generation radio certified
Rockwell Collins has received Type 1 certification from the US National Security Agency for the sixth generation of its ARC-210 RT-2036(C) networked communications airborne radio.
This paves the way for the potential sale of tens-of-thousands of radios required in the medium term to replace early generations of the same radio.
The certification of the radio follows from the same stamp being given in late September to the company’s AN/PRC-162 (V)1 RT-2048(C)U military ground radio (pictured), which has vehicle and manpack variants. Both radios were on display at the AUSA exhibition in Washington DC, from 5-8 October.
