INDO DEFENCE 2018: Rohde & Schwarz presents innovative portfolio of communications and intelligence systems

In Jakarta, Rohde & Schwarz will present itself as a single-source supplier of integrated solutions for secure communications and radio intelligence. Interoperable, powerful communications systems for deployment on land, in the air and at sea are the cornerstones of the comprehensive communications architecture developed by the independent company. The R&S NAVICS integrated naval communications system delivers mission-ready internal and external voice and data communications for all classes of ships.

The broad communications portfolio from Rohde & Schwarz is built around advanced software defined radios (SDR) based on software communications architecture (SCA). The latest generation of SDR/SCA technology is already fielded with the R&S SDTR for vehicle-based tactical communications and the R&S SDHR for highly mobile applications. In Jakarta, Rohde & Schwarz will present the latest addition to its communications portfolio: the R&S SDAR next generation airborne radio. It combines the advantages of a networked radio with the excellent performance of the successful R&S M3AR family of airborne radios. Almost 8000 software defined airborne radios from Rohde & Schwarz are integrated on over 70 different airborne platforms.

Another highlight on display will be the Rohde & Schwarz ELINT solution. Created with a focus on user-friendliness and comprehensive functionality, the system is optimized for detecting, monitoring and analyzing advanced radar signals. It was designed to handle challenging signal scenarios and has already proven itself in operation, especially in acquiring weak and LPI signals in dense signal environments and analyzing state-of-the-art multifunctional radars with complex signal structures.

Rohde & Schwarz will also showcase its COMINT/C-ESM solutions, which can be fully customized to meet the requirements of the most diverse intelligence missions. These radiomonitoring systems from Rohde & Schwarz are deployed worldwide in land-based mobile and stationary applications and on naval and airborne platforms. The Rohde & Schwarz monitoring and direction finding systems are ideal for stationary, mobile and portable deployment. The R&S DDF1555 is the heart of a full-featured man-portable reconnaissance system for outdoor applications. It combines accurate direction finding with wideband monitoring capabilities. The direction finder is an ideal solution for applications that require portable and mobile direction finders for use in outdoor environments.

The Rohde & Schwarz portfolio also offers a number of solutions for protecting cyberspace. The security of data and communications is the prerequisite for the success of digital transformation, which affects almost all facets of the economy and society. The explosive growth of networked products makes it easier to launch a digital attack on companies, authorities and critical infrastructures. For their protection, Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity, using the security-by-design approach, develops and produces a wide range of leading high-tech hardware and software products that repel attacks proactively instead of reactively.
