The Urgent Operational Requirement VENUS is the immediate application of results from in-depth studies carried out over recent years on mobile satellite communication systems. VENUS will enable the quick deployment of innovative Satcom On-the-Move stations, of unrivalled performance, on the theatre of operation.
Satmove**, Thales’s solution for the VENUS project, makes it possible to connect the vehicles to the Syracuse system, with secure links for simultaneous voice/data transmission. It encompasses an antenna, a modem and a transmission system featuring network and security functionalities, adapted to mobility requirements.
This innovative solution means that, on top of existing radio facilities, connections may be added to increase availability and the data rate of tactical communication between the different levels of command. By guaranteeing permanent command links, it also meets the needs of the mobile land units on the battlefields.
The VENUS program stations may be operated by any operational station of the Syracuse military communications system and PR4G combat stations.
