Rockwell Collins conducted initial ARC-210 MUOS flight testing in 2013 and will begin fielding in 2018. A US Air Force F-16 will be the first aircraft to be equipped with the radio.
MUOS is the next-generation SATCOM system used by the DoD for air and ground communications, operating in the Ultra High Frequency band for greater overall capacity and signal quality. MUOS allows any combination of voice, data or video to be accessed while providing soldiers with improved communications capabilities, especially within rough terrain and beyond line of sight situations compared to legacy systems.
