Software Defined Communications (SDC)

Migration/Interoperability

Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS)
Solving Interoperability Across Services

Software Defined Communications offer the versatility to host many applications, providing connectivity with installed communications systems. In addition, new capabilities are added to meet future requirement, enhancement, and mission needs without disturbing communications with the installed systems. This provides a seamless and orderly migration into the future while leveraging investments in installed systems.

Features:

• Interoperate between legacy and new modulation types and link radios with limited frequency bands
• Migrate from legacy systems with limited frequency coverage to new systems and new authorized frequencies on a planned basis
• Flexible acquisition through planned phase-in/phase-out of the legacy products, avoiding a total shut-down and restart or the need to carry multiple devices
• Handle multiple voice-to-digital protocols (CVSD, IMBE, LPC, etc.), including both serial and parallel I/O protocols
• Convert these and other protocols to provide real-time communications between previously incompatible devices
• Bridging, cross-banding, and simulcast to tie similar and dissimilar nets together for seamless connectivity and interoperability
