The software defined, multiband-capable airborne transceivers in the R&S®M3AR family have a modular design and state-of-the-art technology for high MTBF values and a long life. The compact and lightweight transceivers offer high performance, making them suitable for operation in all types of aircraft, including unmanned aerial vehicles. Different waveforms are available, which can be installed at any time to provide interoperability in a variety of operational scenarios.
Key facts
Frequency range from 30 MHz to 400 MHz
Compact and lightweight with high transmit power
EPM (ECCM): HAVE QUICK I/II, SATURN, R&S®SECOS
Approved for jet and propeller aircraft, helicopters and unmanned aircraft
Embedded NATO or R&S®SECOS encryption
Outstanding radio parameters
Excellent RF parameters
Despite its compact design, the R&S®M3AR radio family offers excellent RF characteristics, even under harsh environmental conditions. The R&S®M3AR transceivers are compatible with common military and civil communications standards.
Secure communications
EPM (ECCM) anti-jamming communications
Electronic protective measures (EPM) protect radio links from electronic countermeasures (ECM) such as jamming. Frequency hopping is an EPM (ECCM) method that is available as an option in all R&S®M3AR radios.
The NATO frequency hopping method HAVE QUICK I/II and the state-of-the-art SATURN method are integrated in the R&S®M3AR family in line with STANAG 4246 and STANAG 4372. These methods ensure jam-free radio links.
