“Creating situational awareness” is the motto of the Rohde & Schwarz booth at DSEI (London, 10-13 September 2013). The company offers integrated communications and intelligence solutions for all branches of the armed forces. The highlight is the R&S SDTR software defined tactical radio, now with an external control unit.

Rohde & Schwarz will conduct a live demonstration of the R&S SDTR software defined tactical radio. The R&S SDTR is the first member of a new generation of software defined radios. Launched in December 2012, it has been optimized for use in vehicles and semimobile applications.

The R&S SDTR, together with the secure, network enabled, high data rate R&S HDR waveform family, is fully IP-capable and can be easily and seamlessly integrated into existing IP networks.

The R&S SDTR is an open platform based on the software communications architecture (SCA) standard. Both standardized and proprietary waveforms can be ported to the radio, which enables interoperability with allied forces as required during missions. The now available external control unit provides user-friendly configuration, and can be used to control the radio even over long distances.

Rohde & Schwarz will also showcase integrated radiocommunications and radiomonitoring systems for all classes of maritime platforms. At DSEI in London, the company will be presenting itself as a single source of integrated solutions for secure communications, radiomonitoring and radiolocation, once again proving its position as a leader in this market segment.

Radiocommunications for airborne platforms is represented by the R&S MR6000A software defined UHF/VHF airborne transceiver, which is deployed in applications such as the European A400M military transport aircraft. The R&S MR6000A is the only radio of its kind to meet both military and civil avionics standards. In the area of test and measurement, Rohde & Schwarz will use integrated frequency hopping to demonstrate an economical, laboratory-based measurement and evaluation of an airborne transceiver.

Rohde & Schwarz is an independent group of companies specializing in electronics. It is a leading supplier of solutions in the fields of test and measurement, broadcasting, radiomonitoring and radiolocation, as well as secure communications.
