McMurdo is extending its Search and Rescue Ecosystem with the Asian launch of the SARBE CommLink at the Singapore Airshow. SARBE CommLink is a next-generation digital wireless intercom system that can help emergency response/rescue teams accelerate time-to-rescue with innovative features including superior audio quality, long-distance communications range and unique programing capability. This military-grade communications solution is part of rescue operations and has been specifically designed for use in hazardous missions. This can be seen on booth U76.
Militaries are able to reduce weight, installed unit count and maintenance/logistics overhead with the Curtiss-Wright/Ultra Electronics Flightline Systems Fortress HUMS, showcased on booth R75. The Fortress HUMS combines an ED-112A qualified crash recorder with sophisticated inbuilt HUMS hardware. This innovative solution reduces installed box count by one and utilizes distributed data acquisition architecture for both flight and HUMS data. These changes mean system weight can drop from 70 lb to 13 lb versus current systems. The scalable architecture is easily re-programed with no need to switch anything out. Benefits include logistics and maintenance savings, improved safety and lower SWaP-C.
Harris, on booth CS22, recently received $66 million in orders to provide a Middle East nation with FALCON III wideband tactical radios and accessories as part of an overall communications modernisation effort. Harris will provide:
Furthermore, the company will provide electronic warfare (EW) technology and engineering services for the Advanced Decoy Architecture Project (ADAP). Harris will provide ADAP payloads designed to lure missiles away from their intended targets with advanced electronic techniques. The ADAP payloads are an upgrade to the existing NULKA decoy. Harris also will provide research engineering services to help advance the Navy's capabilities to meet current and future EW mission requirements.
Under the SOF Tactical Communications (STC) programme, Harris will provide its new integrated two-channel, handheld radio that combines communications and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities to address the SOF’s unique mission needs. The Harris STC handheld radio can operate in the harshest environments and meets rigorous requirements for small, lightweight, multiband, multifunction, multi-mission tactical radios. It can be upgraded easily and has built-in backward interoperability to communicate over legacy networks.
