RUGGEDIZED BY DESIGN
K - Ta C S
The multipurpose K-TaCS (KONGSBERG
Tactical Communication System)
provides automatically routed and
switched voice and data. Its ability to
support reliable high capacity data in
a mobile tactical environment is the
essence of the K-TaCS´ success.
K-TaCS is designed to operate in a
tactical environment including excellent
abilities to handle EW threats, to deliver
full functionality in autonomous mode
as well as in a large network operation.
High level encryption is supported
throughout the system.
Typical K-TaCS applications are IP
networks, TDM networks, C4I systems,
surveillance systems, tactical area
communication systems, air defence,
command post communication, mobile
extension of tactical area systems and
soldier systems.
Cost effectiveness is ensured due to the
small size and light weight of the K-TaCS
equipment, requiring smaller and fewer
vehicles. A communication node is
established in a short time,
by a few soldiers.
The KONGSBERG K-TaCS system is
designed for use in harsh environments
including arctic, desert and tropical
areas. All units are ruggedised by design.
Long term availability and support is
ensured by KONGSBERG.
RL542A Radio Link
Fully ruggedised equipment, high reliability, high survivability and ease of use are
key elements to the success of K-TaCS.
The outstanding ability to deliver
systems that exceed customer
expectations is an important aspect
of KONGSBERG solutions.

IP AND TDM RADIO LINKS
The RL532A and RL542A Radio Links provide reliable and
secure communication links in a hostile Electronic Warfare
(EW) environment. The unique EPM/ECCM methods used are
a combination of automatic output power control and an
advanced frequency hopping technique.
RL532A and RL542 operate in NATO Band III+ and Band IV
respectively and support data rates up to 34 and 100 Mbit/s.
They provide ports for both TDM and IP networks simultaneously. The TDM port utilizes EUROCOM, ITU V.11 and G.703. The
IP port utilizes IEEE 802.3 Ethernet or V.11, enabling interfacing
of routers in an IP-based network. LAN extensions are also
supported.
The two ports are individually configured to the required data
rate. The Radio Links are self-instructing with a high degree of
automatic functions for ease of operation. A radio link can be
configured and established in a very short time. The operator
has access to all radio parameters through the local front panel
MMI, from a local PC or remotely from the K-TaCS CMS
computer (Communication Management System).
Strong EPM/ECCM features are available. The Radio Links offer
standard- and adaptive frequency hopping. In the adaptive
frequency hopping mode a jammed frequency will automatically
be removed from the hop set. Automatic frequency evasion is
available in fixed frequency operation.
EPM/ECCM FEATURES INCLUDE:
• Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH):
High hopping rate combined with
automatic removal of jammed frequencies.
• Automatic Power Control (APC): Power
output is automatically reduced to the
minimum needed - to avoid detection,
and automatic step-up at jamming or
interference.
• Automatic Frequency Evasion (AFE): At
interference - automatic switchover to
another frequency pair.
• Pulse-Jammer Protection (PJP):
Advanced channel coding techniques
(FEC and Interleaving) in combination
with a pulse-jammer detection
algorithm that prevents loss of
synchronization.
• Built-in AES256 encryption is available as an option.

The TacLAN radios support high data
capacity to highly mobile units. Typical
applications are sensor networks, soldier
systems, command posts, C4I systems
and as a mobile extension of tactical
area systems.
The radios have ad-hoc networking
features. The user will reach intended
destination for both voice and data
communication with the multi hop
capability. The radios operate without
any Master in the network.
The TacLAN product family consists of a
vehicle- and a soldier radio. Both radios
are fully compatible and offer data rates
up to 2.5 Mbit/s.
The soldier radio is designed to be
used in advanced soldier systems where
sharing of data within a platoon is an
essential goal. The network will support
a number of parallel voice connections.
The radios have an Ethernet interface,
support standard IP features and provide
ad-hoc networking with adaptive multihop routing. Built-in AES256 encryption
is available.
SR600
TacLAN operates in the 225 to 400 MHz
UHF band I to provide a good balance
between range, data rate and RF output
power. The soldier radio SR600 has
selectable RF output power, up to 1W
allowing a mission specific range vs.
battery lifetime optimization.
The vehicular radios provide
up to 5W output power.
The radios can provide different network
capacities based on selected RF bandwidth. Depending on chosen network
capacity, the radio can handle up to 6
parallel voice networks and one IP
multi hop data network in one RF
network. The flexible software in the
radio facilitates new services to be
implemented in support of customer
specific applications.
