Rohde & Schwarz introduces R&S SDAR
Rohde & Schwarz has added a new software defined airborne radio (SDAR) to its M3AR radio family, the company announced on 20 March.
The R&S SDAR offers secure broadband voice and data communications for network centric operations, allowing maximum flexibility for the customer.
The open system architecture of the R&S SDAR is based on the international SCA standard and allows government customers to independently develop, adapt and port their own waveforms with encryption.
The radio provides advanced command and control capabilities to achieve information superiority and total situation awareness. Both legacy waveforms and new high data rate waveforms can be ported to the radio system, meeting national requirements.
