Description
The Hornet PRR1 SDR meets modern battlefield requirements for flexibility, COMSEC, TRANSEC, MANET and Broadband Capabilities.
State-of-the-art IP Mesh MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) technology provides simultaneous encrypted voice, data and video capability. The Mesh feature enables self-forming and self-healing networking of up to 64 nodes per mesh in any configuration.
Data rates automatically vary from 0.5 to 87 Mbps depending on available SNR. The best performance during a mission is achieved by automatically adjusting the frequency bandwidth between 1.25Mhz and 20Mhz and the modulation between 4QAM(QPSK) to 64QAM with the option to switch to another available link with better link throughput capacity.
A pre-programmed transmission plan can be configured with a Talk (TX) channel that includes full duplex audio (voice) talk channels, video streaming, encryption and monitoring of up to 16 predefined audio channels.
Changes between shipping plans and resets can be made by connecting to the Shipping Plan Application.
Point-to-Point (P-T-P) Link distances between two HORNET PRR radios in NON-Line-of-Sight (N-LOS) up to 500 meters are achieved in forests and populated areas.
LOS distances beyond 5 km can be achieved between elevated sites or via air-to-ground links.
Longer link distances between two PRR units of up to 10km can be achieved, with more MANET radios in the area providing multilink options.
Battlefield awareness capability includes 2 independent video streams to a central command center, while GPS position, battery status and grid usage are displayed on the Command-and-Control map.
Shipping time on the internal battery is up to 4 hours, but can be extended by another 19 hours when connected to the auxiliary battery.
