THE BEST TACTICAL COMMUNICATIONS AMPLIFIER JUST GOT BETTER
AR Modular RF Battle-Tested Amplifiers
 |
Modern networking radios demand a great deal more from the amplifier systems than they did just a few years ago. Back then, amplifiers had to deal mostly with constant envelope waveforms like Frequency Modulation (FM) or some version of Phase Shift Keying (PSK) and maybe some Amplitude Modulation (AM). However, that has all changed. Now amplifiers have to deal with constant and non-constant modulation formats, which carry relatively high speed data measured in megabits per second versus the old systems that carried kilobits per second.
So not only do today’s amplifiers have to be able to deal with the peaks and dips in the waveform envelope, they also need to be able to deal with rapid changes in the format type and the constantly changing data framing formats. This demands very quick carrier detection and fast key-up characteristics to ensure that there is no corruption or slowing of the data transmission through the power amplifier system.
The AR-50 is built using the latest state-of-the art design principles. It utilizes super-fast PIN diodes for receive-to-transmit (TR) switching and filter selection, custom designed carrier detection circuits that can deal with simple AM and FM modulation, frequency hopping modes, or the latest highly complex Networking formats like ANW2 without missing a beat. “Reaching out” with a communications package these days means the use of SatCom, so the AR-50 offers a switchable low noise receiver amplifier coupled to a steep sided co-site filter to keep the SatCom receive channel nice and quiet.
In spite of its relatively small physical size the AR-50 contains a wide input range DC to DC power supply subassembly that allows the unit to run in both civil and military vehicles as well as with numerous types of battery systems.
So the bottom line is if you have a need for a sophisticated, well-designed and fully tested 50 watt VHF/UHF multi-band tactical power amplifier (PA) you need look no further than the AR-50. It’s just one of a whole family of self-tuning tactical PA’s from a company that has over 40 years in the RF amplifier business

Harris began deliveries of the AN/PRC-152A after receiving Type-1 certification from the National Security Agency. The radio is the next generation of the widely deployed AN/PRC-152(C) handheld and addresses wideband communication requirements of teams operating at the tactical edge of the battlefield. The Falcon III wideband handheld serves as an interoperable companion to the Harris AN/PRC-117G multiband wideband manpack radio.
Covering the 30 to 512 MHz frequency range, the AN/PRC-152A also comes with an optional high band enhancement that increases the radio’s frequency coverage to 30 to512 MHz and 762 to 870 MHz for select waveforms.
The AN/PRC-152A allows the U.S. Department of Defense to extend tactical networking across the entire battlefield and offers warfighters the broadest set of capabilities in a handheld radio. In addition to wideband networking, initially provided by the Harris Adaptive Networking Wideband Waveform (ANW2), the AN/PRC-152A operates SINCGARS, VHF/UHF Line-of-Sight (VULOS), HaveQuick and IW for tactical satellite communications.. This makes the AN/PRC-152A the only wideband networking handheld radio that is also fully interoperable with deployed DoD radios.
In November 2011, the AN/PRC-152A was deployed at the U.S. Army's Network Integration Evaluation. Soldiers at the NIE integrated the AN/PRC-152A with the Harris Falcon III AN/PRC-117G wideband manpack to extend networking connectivity from brigade to the tactical edge. The AN/PRC-152A was used to send voice, data, and position location information from the dismounted soldier over a backbone Adaptive Wideband Networking Waveform (ANW2) network.
The AN/PRC-152A features the Software Communications Architecture (SCA) operating environment, providing the optimal transition to software defined radio technology. SCA architecture enables the upgrade to future waveforms supporting the evolution of communications from legacy narrowband to network centric wideband operations. Secured with the Harris Sierra II encryption module, the AN/PRC-152A provides voice and data security up to the TOP SECRET level.
The AN/PRC-152A is the wideband radio that can deliver IP-based mobile ad-hoc networking to warfighters at the tactical edge.

FORAX-HARC Aerostat Radio Relay Systems
 |
Syntonics’ FORAX™ (Fiber Optic Remote Antenna eXtension) RF-over-Fiber technology was initially developed for the U.S. Special Operations Command sponsor and is now deployed around the world in mission-critical 24x7 operations. HARC (High Antennas for Radio Communications) aerostat systems are a special case of FORAX. FORAX, the heart of the forward deployed High Antennas for Radio Communications (HARC) program, enables the mounting of radio antennas on aerostats sent aloft while the radios remain on the ground.
Using a FORAX-HARC system with an aerostat or tall tower, radio users can communicate out to the visual horizon, talk over terrain features, and talk down into “urban canyons” below the aerostat. Voice and data relay links can operate with the radios securely and conveniently in the operations center; only the radios’ antennas are on the high-flying aerostat or tower.
FORAX-HARC is a proven technology that enables almost any line-of-sight communication radio — military or public safety, VHF to UHF to cellular frequencies — to take advantage of existing aerostats to create a virtual “tall antenna tower.” Multiple radios share one optical fiber in the tether and antennas on the aerostat.
FORAX-HARC enables persistent, inexpensive wide-area and urban radio communications for tactical, border surveillance, and disaster recovery applications. In brief:
· High antennas improve line-of-sight (LOS) radio coverage by enabling “over-the-horizon” communications (from the perspective of a radio on the ground) and local-area communications into mountainous terrain or congested urban areas.
· Aerostats can inexpensively carry high antennas. Aerostats provide a tall, quasi-permanent radio tower. Aerostats are unmanned platform with relatively low acquisition and operating costs as compared to other approaches to providing wide-area LOS communications.
HARC connects multiple ground-based radios to high antennas on the aerostat via a single optical fiber in the aerostat’s tether. HARC enhances throughput by eliminating one hop in a networked radio application. Leaving the radios on the ground enables immediate access for radio maintenance and crypto key loading. All radio controls are at the User’s fingertips. Co-site interference is mitigated by the HARC system, enabling multiple co-located radios to successfully operate.
