BAE Systems Launch New Networking Radios

BAE Systems has introduced the Phoenix family of networking radios to fill the gap between higher headquarters and the warfighter. Phoenix radios deliver secure, jam-resistant communications on the battlefield via modern networking waveforms. BAE Systems has responded to the U.S. Army’s request for a non-developmental mid-tier networking vehicular radio (MNVR) solution with its two-channel Phoenix-SC radio, which meets or exceeds all specifications. “The Phoenix family of radios offers the most complete MNVR solution for battlefield communications,” said Joseph Senftle, vice president and general manager of Communications and Control Solutions at BAE Systems. “With decades of experience in software-defined radio technology, BAE Systems developed the Phoenix radios with affordability, reduced size, weight, and power, as well as robust anti-jam capabilities, as top priorities”. The Phoenix family of radios operates the Wideband Networking Waveform (WNW) and the Soldier Radio Waveform (SRW), enabling multiple configurations and providing full anti-jam modes in WNW to protect communications in hostile environments.
