GET MORE NETWORK POWER WITH LESS EQUIPMENT

A SINGLE SOLUTION FOR DYNAMIC MULTI-TIER NETWORKS

FAST, WIRELESS COMMS

This modular, Software Defined Radio provides a dynamic, self-forming and self-healing wireless communications network architecture for on the move and stationary forces. Using two JTRS high-bandwidth waveforms—the Soldier Radio Waveform (SRW) and the Wideband Networking Waveform (WNW)—it increases overall connectivity and network capacity by operating as a node, allowing information to hop from one AN/VRC-118(V)1 MNVR to another, finding the best route between sender and receiver.

INCREASED CONNECTIVITY AND CAPACITY

As more radios use the WNW nodes, the AN/VRC-118(V)1 MNVR provides “network thickening,” creating diverse paths for information to flow. WNW provides Beyond-Line-of-Sight capability using retransmission—especially helpful in locations where foliage, terrain, distance or lack of SATCOM adversely impact communications.

This advanced technology also connects separated SRW networks and provides on-the-move, Line-of-Sight networking capability for lower-tier SRW during mobile operations, supporting better company-level intercommunications.

Military and government organizations around the world count on Harris to connect warfighters up and down the echelon. Harris’ ability to deliver the network—anytime, anywhere—is the result of our industry-leading tactical equipment, systems and software.

The space-efficient AN/VRC-118(V)1 Mid-tier Networking Vehicular Radio (MNVR) provides a bridge between the lower and upper tactical internet without requiring stacks of networking equipment or voice gateways. By providing a critical connection between upper-level commanders and dispersed ground forces at the tactical edge, this new capability improves battlefield effectiveness. Soldiers at all levels can connect to the Global Information Grid (GIG) using wireless, secure, and real-time voice and data.

With its JTN Enterprise Over The Air Management (OTAM) capability, encrypted commands—such as file transfer and change pre-sets—may be given. This advanced feature also enables Unit Task Reorganization, network simplification and improved operational utility.

EASY TO OPERATE AND STABLE

With its straightforward, user-friendly interfaces, warfighters at the tactical edge can easily and rapidly power-up, establish full connectivity and networking capacity, and communicate with their commanders in real-time through voice and data.

Seamlessly designed to integrate into Army tactical vehicles, the AN/VRC-118(V)1 MNVR operates in the most rugged environments without impact to the quality of communications.

INTEROPERABILITY FURTHER EXPANDS THE NETWORK

The AN/VRC-118(V)1 MNVR can interoperate with legacy systems, such as SINCGARS, as well as new systems, such as the handheld, manpack and small form fit and dual-channel manpack radios, providing more rapid distribution of data between forces at company-and-below echelons and their higher headquarters.

READY FOR AIR-TO-GROUND COMMUNICATIONS

With its WNW capability, the AN/VRC-118(V)1 MNVR can exchange mission-critical data with Army aviation platforms via the Airborne Maritime Fixed Station Small Airborne Networking Radio when the platforms are radio equipped.

HIGHER BANDWIDTH FOR NON-WIN-T PLATFORMS AND UNITS

Using the AN/VRC-118(V)1 MNVR, heavy platforms that do not currently meet Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) requirements for WIN-T Increment 2 can still achieve higher bandwidth terrestrial connections.

OPERATES IN A SATELLITE-DENIED ENVIRONMENT

With waveforms that are not dependent on satellites to operate, the AN/VRC-118(V)1 MNVR allows you to exchange data across echelons, even when satellite connectivity is not available. It connects soldiers at the company level back to the battalion and brigade WNW network through its terrestrial, Line-of-Sight, range-extension capabilities. Company commanders can maintain the data connection to devices operating on those WNW networks and continue conducting missions, such as digital fires threads, digital calls for Medevac and transferring large files used for mission command, control, and planning.

ENHANCED SECURITY

Communications are secure—even though the radio is free from a fixed infrastructure, such as a cell tower or satellite network—because the AN/VRC-118(V)1 MNVR provides both unclassified and secure (up to Secret) networked voice and data exchange.
