Signals Solutions: Multinational Tactical Communications for the 21st Century
Add bookmark[inlinead]
New operational concepts are increasingly requiring multinational forces to share tactical comms on many essential levels. Modern radios will meet a new standard, to include software defined radios - but other contingents will rely on older legacy systems. Existing national waveforms need to be supplemented, ostensibly by multinational waveforms, and need to accurately provide crypto functions. Some legacy equipment will need to be replaced and some will need retrofitting, but ultimately NATO will be responsible for providing a clear framework for joint tactical comms. Listen to Dr Phil Vigneron talk about these finer details and what he foresees as the ideal solution to conjoining multinational tactical comms. Dr Vigneron is the Canadian National Representative to the VHF/UHF Waveform Standardisation Group at NATO.
