Body-Worn Radio

June 1, 2013

The Nett Warrior Radio from Thales Communi cations provides soldiers with access to the government’s classified networks at the “Secret” or “Sensitive But Unclassified” level.

The radio, a lightweight, body-worn unit, transmits voice and data simultaneously utilizing the Soldier Radio Waveform (SRW). The technology allows self-forming, ad hoc, voice, and data networks, and enables any leader at the tactical level to track individual soldier position location information. The radio was jointly developed by Thales Communications, Inc. and General Dynamics C4 Systems (GDC4S) under the Handheld, Manpack, and Small Form Fit (HMS) program, primed by GDC4S.

The Nett Warrior Radio provides dismounted soldiers with situational awareness and access to mission-critical, classified information. Thales designs and integrates radio solutions for a broad range of platforms, including armored vehicles, dismounted infantry, helicopters, aircraft, and naval vessels.
