TAKRAD is a tactical radio system based on SDR (Software Defined Radio) technology, designed for foot soldiers outside the transport. The system is crafted to serve as a natural link between the soldiers and the network, requiring minimal engagement in radio operation and enabling focus on the mission.
TAKRAD system enables simultaneous voice and data communication within two independent networks: simultaneous communication with lower and higher levels. The modern SDR platform ensures seamless reliability and communication stability of the soldier, with a high level of communication security through the implementation of certified crypto protocols (AES 256) and DSSS FH capability.
The open architecture of the system allows easy integration of user waveforms and cryptographic solutions, as well as interoperability. The dual independent SDR architecture enables simultaneous soldier communication and connection with sensors and peripherals using the built-in LE BT (Low Energy Bluetooth) radio.
The built-in GPS with anti-jamming and anti-spoofing detection provides the user with reliable positioning combined with the built-in accelerometer. With predefined criteria, it automatically transmits the soldiers’ position in case of a serious injury.
TAKRAD system for the soldier comes in two versions: TAKRAD A (advanced) and TAKRAD B (basic). Both versions are excellently crafted and share the same mechanics and electronics, differing only in communication capabilities. The user has the simple option to switch, if necessary, from the B to the A version, as it involves solely a software upgrade without the need to send the radio to the manufacturer. TAKRAD A and B are compatible.
