A big problem that I dealt with regarding tactical commo back to TOC or HQS was.....what is the device to reach back? UHF SATCOM works great, but it is only 16KHz wide. MUOS sucks in any situation. C, X and Ku bands require you setup a stinking directional antenna that has strict pointing requirements. The old UHF stuff you could leave the beam directors off and then point the basic antenna base straight up....turn up your power to max and boom...it works on the move. Or, use an amp and a X Wing mag mount antler. Yea, the higher freq satellite gear can do that too, but your antenna is hell to deal with. The modern warfighter needs megabits of data both to and from home. Radios like the old 117G or the newer 167 are sweet, but once again, how do you talk or send vid to decision makers back home?
In the fifties my father was a reservist in a signals unit. A training Wednesday evening he would turn up in unit , and be given a box of radio components, and told to build a basic FM transmitter in the next two, and half hours. Their commanding officer taught to solder without having a solding iron from his experience of building basic radio receivers covertly while a POW of the Japanese in WW2. We need to look to the past, to work out what basic communication skills ( morse for example)for the future.
Yup! Love the guys at trellisware, silvus, and persistent systems, do a lot of work with them in regards to complimenting their radio products with tactical internet gateway boxes over at bryodyn technologies. Definitely check us out!

The radios are big and bulky, but they're frequency hopping. That means that it's impossible for anyone to hack or listen in to the communication.
AI might be able to catch those frequencies ? Idk I'm too dumb for this convo
@@bootoscarmike5897 If that was possible, we'd probably recognize the problem first and fix it. USA is way ahead of anyone else in tech.

APPRECIATED
Still to train for basics!
Should have gone Codan. The Envoy and Sentry are all over Harris capabilities
Check it out
Thales, Silvus, Persistent, Harris, Trellis...there are many options
