US Space Force increases efforts to plug training capabilities gaps
The service has been seeking simulation and emulation solutions capable of reproducing multiple in-orbit threats.
Elbit Systems Ltd. announced the launch of its latest software-defined radio, the airborne Tadiran SDR-7200AR. Specifically designed for airborne platforms, this innovative radio system harnesses the power of its distinctive automatic routing and relay capabilities to offer extended range, while offering video, voice and data simultaneously at an exceptionally high data rate.
Embedded in the radio system are fundamental avionics applications for enhanced situational awareness, including video and safety enhancement features. These applications enable on-the-move commands and real-time intelligence updates that are automatically updated on the C4I system at an exceptionally high rate, contributing significantly to mission success.
The Tadiran SDR-7200AR's versatility is integral in enabling direct support of air-to-air, air-to-sea and air-to-ground communications, providing operators with a significant tactical edge in battle. The product is fully compliant with the Software Communications Architecture SCA version 2.2.2.
Part of the SDR family of products developed by Elbit Systems, a world leader in field-proven military communication solutions, the Tadiran SDR-7200AR supports multiple frequency bands, including VHF, UHF, L-Band, S-Band and SATCOM (optional). In addition, the product's high data rate easily handles live video required for success in today's complex operations.

The service has been conducting several acquisition and upgrading efforts involving artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve communication, data analysis and ISR systems.
The Syracuse 4B communications satellite, developed by Airbus and Thales Alenia Space, was launched last year, bolstering secure military satellite communications for the French Armed Forces. Thales has now been selected to provide terminals for vehicles.
The growing importance of space in modern warfare, advancements in satellite technology, and increasing threats from rivals like China and Russia were among the topics of a Eurosatory 2024 panel on military space operations.
AN/ARC-232A is a Starfire radio that provides VHF/UHF communications to airborne platforms and the transceiver is software-programmable, allowing for multiple waveform support as well as optional national electronic counter counter-measure (ECCM) capability.
During the 18-month period of the contract, Lockheed Martin will apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques to create surrogate models of aircraft, sensors, electronic warfare and weapons within dynamic and operationally representative environments.
