Rockwell Collins' ARC-210 Gen5 radio receives NSA certification
The Rockwell Collins RT-1939(C) ARC-210 Gen5 radio has received National Security Administration (NSA) Type 1 Certification. The certification is the culmination of a development contract that was awarded by the US Navy in 2006.
"The ARC-210 Gen5 radio is the newest generation of Rockwell Collins' V/UHF communication products," said Bruce King, vice president and general manager of Communications Products for Rockwell Collins. "This radio will provide superior performance in the transfer of point-to-point and networked data, voice and imagery. Built with our latest technology innovations, it will continue to be the US Navy's ‘radio of choice' around the globe."
In response to the world's constantly evolving transmission and communication security needs and to comply with the NSA's cryptographic modernization initiative, the ARC-210 Gen5 radio is the first military airborne transceiver to provide a modern, embedded, fully programmable information security capability. In addition, the ARC-210 Gen5 radio provides a form and fit replacement for existing ARC-210 radios.
The ARC-210 Gen5 radio features a Software Communications Architecture compliant software defined radio architecture, embedded programmable next generation crypto and extended frequencies to 941 MHz. In addition, the Gen5 radio is upgradeable to a Joint Precision Approach and Landing System (JPALS) UHF data link and supports insertion of Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) and Tactical Secure Voice (TSV) capabilities.
