Datron launches Spectre family of secure radios

Article Abstract:

Datron World Communications (DWC) is creating a range of Spectre compact but high-performance secure tactical voice/data radios to furnish users with a mixture of user friendliness, low price and high reliability. The Spectre family will employ the orthogonal hopping mode to allow adjacent nets to use the same hopsets of frequencies without mutual interference. Spectre will also feature multi-mode operation, channel scanning and simplex or half-duplex operation among others. By the fourth quarter of 1998, the PRC2100 Spectre V which offers full-band frequency hopping and digital encryption over the 30-88MHz VHF band with 25kHz or 12.5kHz channel spacing, will be available.

Airborne communications make leap ahead

Article Abstract:

Sanders' and Raytheon Co's teams have received contracts worth $17.6 million and $15.2 million, respectively, from the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to perform Phase II of the Airborne Communications Node project. Each will develop technologies such as signal processing, optical networks, mobile networking and reconfigurable antennas. The agency will then choose one to develop a prototype payload for testing aboard an unmanned aerial vehicle.
