The company's presentations will include an innovation for naval communications: R&S NAVICS – a VoIP based switching system with a unique security concept. Also on display will be the R&S SDTR software defined tactical radio. In combination with high data rate, MANET capable waveforms, the radio provides secure tactical communications.
Rohde & Schwarz will also present its new ELINT solution for detecting, acquiring and analyzing radar signals. The system was specifically developed to meet intelligence requirements in difficult signal scenarios.
The integrated naval communications systems from Rohde & Schwarz offer technical superiority, user friendliness and outstanding cost efficiency. The new R&S NAVICS VoIP based switching system will serve as a core component for future ready voice and data communications for all classes of ships. The system interconnects the onboard voice terminals as well as all other subsystems for internal and external communications via a uniform IP network. It allows secure and controlled voice communications between users of networks of various classification levels on board a ship.
What is different about this system is the extensive use of ruggedized, conventional IT technology with accredited security provided by Rohde & Schwarz. As a result, the number of voice terminals can be reduced and state-of-the-art ATEX smartphones employed within security-critical environments ("man on the move"). An intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) provides a modern and convenient means of operating the technically complex system. With R&S NAVICS,
The newly developed system is a core component of the integrated communications system to be deployed on board the British Royal Navy's Type 26 global combat ship (GCS). BAE Systems awarded Rohde & Schwarz a contract to equip the first three ships in July 2015.
Another highlight Rohde & Schwarz will present at DSEI is the innovative system for detecting, acquiring and analyzing radar signals (ELINT). The system was developed with a focus on handling difficult signal scenarios such as those with weak or LPI signals.
COMINT/CESM solutions from Rohde & Schwarz, which can be adapted to meet a broad range of requirements, round out the company's portfolio. A highlight is the new R&S DDF5GTS multichannel scanning direction finder, which enables fast and comprehensive radio spectrum monitoring and DF measurements.
