R&S radios for VJTF 2023 Pumas
Rohde & Schwarz will provide software defined radios (SDRs) for the Very High Readiness Joint Taskforce (VJTF) 2023 Puma vehicles of the German armed forces, the company announced on 22 July.
The radios will provide a seamless command radio link over the first mile for the Puma vehicles.
Rohde & Schwarz is a subcontractor of Rheinmetall Electronics, which is responsible for the IdZ-ES system, and will supply the latest tactical SDRs together with suitable waveforms, integration, training and services.
The Rohde & Schwarz VHF/UHF radio systems selected for this project will establish and maintain the command radio link with simultaneous voice and IP data from dismounted troops up to the platoon and company level. The systems are handheld (SDHR/SOVERON HR) and vehicular radios (SDTR/SOVERON VR) that are interoperable with the German armed forces joint radio system.
The first batch of SOVERON D commissioned for command vehicles will be delivered to the troops in the first half of 2020.
