ground-to-ground and air-to-air communications networking to
warfighter
For years, the U.S. armed forces and militaries around the world
have sought an interoperable, scalable, ad hoc networked
communications system that allows warfighters to talk with each
other, no matter if they are located on the ground or in the
air.
Now Rockwell Collins has cracked that code with its TruNet
networked communications solution – offering a one-stop, integrated
ground-air network. TruNet will be launched this week at the
Association of the U.S. Army’s Global Force Symposium and
Exhibition in Huntsville, Alabama. TruNet will make its
international debut April 14 at LAAD Defence & Security 2015 in
Rio de Janeiro.
“Rockwell Collins, with its product depth and experience across
ground and air domains, is uniquely qualified to provide an
integrated ground-air network,” said Mike Jones, vice president and
general manager of Communication and Navigation Products for
Rockwell Collins. “All technical products that are part of the
TruNet network run the exact same waveforms and capabilities and
have the potential to support Joint Services and Coalition forces,
enabling them to plug and play and work seamlessly together.”
The three major components of TruNet are the Rockwell Collins
Airborne Radio (AR) and Ground Radio (GR) Series, along with
advanced handheld technology from the company’s alliance partner,
Thales, a global technology leader in aerospace, defense, security,
transportation and space and an expert in delivering
mission-critical communication systems.
The new software defined AR series is an evolution from the
ARC-210/Talon radio and features one- and two-channel versions. The
world’s most capable and fully exportable software defined radio
(SDR) receiver-transmitters, the AR and GR series radios are
designed to meet growing operational requirements and are adaptable
to offer customer-unique capabilities while conforming to SDR
tenets and architectures.
The TruNet solution delivers mission critical capability,
relying on proven performance required by advanced warfighters. The
SDRs provide multiple waveforms, both narrow and wideband, high
speed, mobile ad hoc networked communications, point-to-point data,
voice and next-generation SATCOM capabilities.
Both the AR and GR series solutions run advanced networking
waveforms such as SRW, WNW and MUOS, along with legacy waveforms,
creating a network capability that addresses the full range of the
military customers’ needs.
