Elbit Systems radios for German Army
Elbit Systems’ subsidiary in Germany has been selected by the German Ministry of Defence to provide the German Army with the E-LynX soldier radio (PNR 1000) in handheld and vehicular configurations.
According to the company, the E-LynX soldier radios will be deployed at the platoon and company levels and will be installed onboard various combat vehicles, including the SPz Puma.
In-depth transfer of technology will facilitate local development and manufacturing of the radios, as well as the development of further extensions and capabilities. Development and production will be carried out in the company’s facilities in Ulm, Germany.
The E-LynX soldier radio facilitates advanced networked combat solutions in both open field and in urban areas. This radio system provides forces with the capability to use several voice groups in a single channel and fast data services. It also closes the sensor-to-shooter loop and enables accurate monitoring of force location via a radio integrated Blue Force Tracking (BFT) capability.
The radios feature an advanced networking waveform with unique concurrent flooding techniques that extend range over a multi-hop network, improve network agility and robustness while dramatically reducing network latency.
