MSPO 2016: WB demos 'digital backbone' (video)
Polish communications specialists WB Electronics showcased some of its latest military technologies at this year's MSPO exhibition held in Kielce, Poland.
One of those products is Fonet, a 'digital backbone' solution that integrates the electronic equipment on a military vehicle, including the communications gear, battle management systems and sensors. Fonet is currently operational on the Polish Army's Rosomak 8x8 vehicles.
Another product displayed is the Perad personal radio, a software-defined radio that has been chosen as part of the Polish Army's modernisation programmes, called Tytan. Shephard spoke to WB Electronics to find out more about these technologies.
