Australia looks towards space with force restructure, investment and training
Australia is looking to improve its presence in space with a focus on communications and creating a dedicated segment of its defence forces committed to the domain.
Elbit Systems Ltd. today introduced the MSR-3000, a unique advanced portable man-pack satellite communication (SATCOM) solution especially suited for Special Forces.
The MSR-3000 integrates all components necessary for military broadband satellite communication into a single, compact, transportable unit, enabling rapid and reliable deployment, especially suitable for Special Forces and the rapid deployment missions of today's modern battlefield.
Boasting full integration with Elbit Systems' wide range of C4I military applications and solutions, and packaged in a single-handed carry case or backpack, the system is suitable for emergency response and in-theater communications.
MSR-3000 offers highly efficient satellite space segment utilization and delivers higher bandwidth, using less satellite resources, providing reliable communications in any climate and under any environmental conditions. With low power consumption and the required ruggedness for operation in harsh military environments, MSR-3000 offers highly advanced scalable performance that establishes it as a cutting-edge BLOS (beyond line-of-sight) communication solution for all command levels. Available as a manual pointing or auto-acquiring man-pack VSAT system, the MSR-3000 is comprised of an antenna outdoor unit (ODU) and a ruggedized MIL-STD base-band unit.
The integrated satellite router features advanced protocol acceleration and optimization combined with robust encryption capabilities and includes an interface to an external encryption unit.
Leveraging Elbit Systems' extensive experience in delivering world-class, field-proven military communications solutions, the compact MSR-3000 can be utilized in a wide range of applications including C4I, internet, VPN connectivity, video transmission, surveillance, and reconnaissance.
