The RF40 multiband, multirole VHF/UHF radio is designed for communication on the tactical level in all military branches.
Variety of waveforms
WF40 - full fledged COMSEC-secured MANET-type network for voice and data communicationin VHF and UHF with automatic rebroadcasting capability over several hops in only 250 kHz wide radio channel offering up to 270 kbit/s capacity for data.
HW20 - frequency agile VHF waveform secured by strong COMSEC/TRANSEC allowing backward compatibility with RF20 radio system.
This modern software defined radio platform is open for further legacy and custom waveform porting.
Mission Module
Expands the radio features according to actual
Communication using WF40 waveform takes place in a true Mobile Ad-Hoc Networking (MANET) type of network - a network that is maintained automatically with no central node.
Each transceiver in the network is capable of automatic rebroadcasting of voice (5 hops) and IP data (7 hops).
Up to 20 users may operate in a WF40 network.
GNSS
Built-in GNSS receiver for GPS, Glonass and Galileo systems with automatic despatch of positional reports (PLI) on the background of voice or data communication - G-Track system.
