Key benefits
Glocom Multiband Airborne Radio is a powerful multichannel SDR specifically designed for operation and installation aboard airborne platforms, including helicopters, transport aircraft and fighter jets. Part of Glocom Tactical Radio solutions, the latest generation of multi-band, multi-waveform tactical IP radios, the networked communication airborne radio provides the highly advanced and robust platform capabilities. Glocom Airborne Radio allows simultaneous transmission of wideband and narrowband waveforms with full MANET capabilities and provides support for legacy waveforms.
Enabling proven, fully secure communication across the entire battle space, GR-8200MA delivers the optimal transfer of simultaneous voice, video and high data rate capabilities required for mission success. Together with the on-board mission computer (all-in-one), the unique combination of high-end airborne radio and a set of mission-focused applications creates an advanced, Gen-5 airborne network.
These network capabilities empower new and existing tools and applications, maximizing their potential, offering significant operational benefits and a huge operational leap forward.
