Business Wire
Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an international communications
and information technology company, is broadening the capabilities
of its RF-7800T Situational Awareness Video Receiver (SAVR) to
address growing requirements for secure wireless digital
intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance video at the tactical
edge.
Harris has integrated the Small Unmanned Aerial Systems Digital
Data Link (SUAS-DDL) waveform with the RF-7800T video receiver.
With SUAS-DDL, the RF-7800T is now able to receive Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES) video feeds from multiple small Unmanned
Aerial Systems (UAS) simultaneously.
SUAS-DDL, a Department of Defense standard waveform, provides
enhanced interoperability between small UAS in the air and video
receivers and control stations on the ground. The characteristics
of the waveform allow multiple UAS to transmit video on the same
frequency. This enables warfighters to monitor intelligence,
surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) video streams covering a
wider geographic area, leading to enhanced command and control and
operational decision-making.
“The addition of SUAS-DDL adds greater capability to our SAVR
video receiver,” said Dana Mehnert, group president, Harris RF
Communications. “Users will be able to switch easily between
multiple video and data feeds, providing them with critical
real-time information. Lightweight and portable, the SAVR provides
these feeds directly to the individual warfighter.”
The multiband RF-7800T SAVR delivers real-time video feeds from
cameras on aircraft or UAS platforms to ground forces. Designed for
the dismounted warfighter as well as for fixed and vehicular
applications, the small, lightweight RF-7800T enables feeds to be
viewed outside the TOC and while personnel are on the move. As a
member of the combat-proven Falcon III® family of radios, the
RF-7800T leverages the Falcon III SCA architecture, allowing the
product to remain on the cusp of emerging data link standards
through software upgrades. Video feeds from the RF-7800T are easily
disseminated over Falcon III radio networks.
