German armed forces comission software radio study
The Federal Office for Information Management and Information Technology of the German Armed Forces has commissioned Rohde & Schwarz to carry out a study about the software defined radio (SDR). As one of the world's leading manufacturers of software radios, Rohde & Schwarz will thus conduct the preparatory tests for the German Armed Forces' next generation of radio systems.
The demand for networked and high-security radiocommunications is steadily increasing. At the same time, the requirements with respect to the interoperability of the German Armed Forces in joint missions as well as in combined multinational missions are becoming more and more stringent. Future voice and data connections within network centric warfare (NCW) therefore require self-organizing, mobile radio networks with suitable transmission methods. These software defined radios (SDRs) of the next generation are used as network nodes and also as terminals with loadable, adaptive, narrowband and wideband waveforms. In future, these radios will form for all organizational divisions the backbone of the mobile section in the communications system of the German Armed Forces on missions within the country.
The study is to analyze and demonstrate new technologies and is the basis for the future joint radio systems of the German Armed Forces (SVFuA). The task of these systems will be to securely distribute and transmit command-relevant information during missions. The result of the study will be concepts and demonstrators with integrated radio and network capabilities.
