Rohde & Schwarz, the specialist in airborne communications, will showcase its current solutions at the international aviation and aerospace trade show in Le Bourget. The highlight will be the R&S MR6000A, the world’s only military airborne transceiver that also meets the civil aviation certification requirements of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The R&S MR6000A from the successful R&S M3AR VHF/UHF airborne transceiver family is the world’s only airborne transceiver to meet both military and civil airborne communications standards. The development process was successfully validated and verified by Airbus and EASA, earning the EASA Statement of Technical Satisfaction. The software defined R&S MR6000A also features highly secure embedded encryption algorithms for protected military communications. Reference platforms include the European A400M transport aircraft along with rotary-wing aircraft such as the H145M light utility helicopter. More than 7000 software defined radios from the R&S M3AR airborne transceiver family have so far been delivered. All software defined radios from Rohde & Schwarz offer customers outstanding flexibility in operational deployment. This also applies to radios installed at military or civil air traffic control ground stations to provide secure ATC communications.
