The Scorpion is a secure, field-ready device engineered to rapidly and safely re-profile Sat-Com Leopard1 and Cheetah3 Combat Net Radios (CNR) in challenging environments.
Efficient Radio Re-profiling
Traditionally, radio profiling (programming all parameters) requires a PC, laptop, or tablet. However, in battlefield conditions, these devices may not always be accessible.
The Secure Field Programming Device addresses this issue by enabling secure re-profiling directly in the field, without the need for a display device. New profiles created using the Sat-Com Radio Configuration Application can be easily uploaded to the SCP1. Once uploaded, the SCP1 can be distributed to signalers, technical staff, or operational teams. With minimal training, they can securely update the field deployed CNRs.
Simple and Secure Profiling Process
Re-profiling a CNR with the Secure Field Programming Device is quick, straightforward, and requires only a few simple steps. The Secure Field Programming Device is powered by the CNR itself, and once connected, the user authenticates the device. After authentication, the Secure Field Programming Device securely transfers and decrypts the necessary files, overwriting old data while preserving any existing information on the radio that is not included in the Secure Field Programming Device’s profile (such as pre-existing radio channels). This entire process is fast and designed to be easy for field operators, requiring just the push of a button.
Secure Field Programming Device Security
The Secure Field Programming Device ensures top-level security with AES256 encryption for all stored files. These files can only be accessed and authenticated by compatible CNR equipment. If the Secure Field Programming Device falls into unauthorized hands, it is rendered completely useless—its information is protected from hacking, extraction, or decryption.
Zeroising the Secure Field Programming Device
To securely wipe the Secure Field Programming Device, simply hold the button until the indicator flashes green, then repeatedly press the button until the red light appears, confirming that the device has been zeroised.
Comprehensive Re-profiling Capabilities
The Secure Field Programming Device can re-profile CNRs with the following parameters:
• Radio Channels
• Radio Address Book (Call Signs)
• Pre-defined Text Messages
• ALE Configuration (3G-ALE)
• Encryption Keys (COMSEC)
• Hopping Keys (TRANSEC)
Key Benefits of the Scorpion Secure Field Programming Device:
• Rapid Re-programming: Enables swift re-profiling or mission plan updates.
• Reduced Travel Requirements: Eliminates the need for highly trained signalers to travel long distances.
• Secure Distribution: AES256 encryption ensures safe and secure file transfers.
• User-friendly: Simple, efficient, and designed for easy field use without extensive training.
