HORNET 1 MIMO/MANET SDR Radio
The Hornet 1 SDR meets modern battlefield requirements in flexibility, COMSEC, TRANSEC and Broadband Capabilities.
It is based on state of the art MIMO (Multiple Input, Mulltiple Output) IP Mesh technology providing simultaneous encrypted Voice and Data/Video capability. The Mesh capability enables self-forming and self-healing network establishment of up to 64 nodes per network in any configuration.
Depending on the SNR level and required data throughput, data bandwidth is automatically varied from 0.5 to 87 Mbps. This is achieved by increasing the frequency bandwidth from 1.25 up to 20MHz and switching modulation techniques that function at up to 64QAM.
10 Pre-programmed mission profiles can be configured for rapid operator selection while providing two independent full duplex audio (voice) channels. The Dual 1W RF output power transceivers achieves single link distances of up to 1.5km for non-line-of-sight (NLOS), while LOS distances beyond 15km are achievable between elevated sites or air to ground links.
The Hornet 1 accessory battery capacity is designed to keep radios operational for up to 5 hours. The radio itself has a built in battery which ensures continuation of existing links while a flat battery is replaced for a charged one.
