Capabilities

SINCGARS
  • SINCGARS waveform, currently under a modernization effort as part of the NSA DoD Modernization Effort. It provides warfighting commanders and troops with a highly reliable and secure voice and data handling capability in support of command and control operations.
  • SINCGARS Is integrated in ground and aviation platforms including the HMS PRC-158 and PRC-162 MP; PRC 148 and PRC 163 LR, RT-1523 series, PRC-152 series, and PRC-117 series.
  • The new SINCGARS waveform will include frequency hopping capabilities for use in mounted vehicle radios and the portable Manpack radio to securely transmit data within contested environments.
WREN
  • WREN waveform enhances network scalability, increases communication range, reduce spectrum foot print, and harden Electronic Warfare (EW) protection
  • Supports VHF, UHF and L-Band frequency ranges using 50 kHz,1.2 MHz, 3.6 MHz, and 10MHz+ Bandwidth
  • Provides simultaneous PLI and voice services
  • Two modes to address the Army’s existing and future Integrated Tactical Network (ITN) networking problems: WREN TSM - provides Spectrum Supportability, Point to point range of 3-5km. WREN-NB - provides enhanced Electronic Protection and Spectrum Supportability, for operations in contested and congested environments up to ~15km
  • Adopts TSM BRn (Barrage Relay networking) for extended range and fast frequency hopping.
enterprise Over The Air Management (eOTAM)
  • eOTAM is an Application Programming Interface (API) framework and radio service that simplifies network management and enables secure over the air monitoring and remote re-provisioning
  • Features a standardized and secure protocol defined by the Government to provide the ability to manage and securely monitor the Army’s tactical radios.
