Rockwell delivers 1,400 RSRs to USAF
Rockwell Collins has made delivery of 1,400 Remote Secure Receivers (RSR) under a follow-on order from the US Air Combat Command (ACC) and US Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC), the company announced on 6 June.
The company has delivered 1,800 RSRs so far for the AFSOC and ACC. The RSRs feature a military Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM) GPS solution and plug-and-play capability that can be customised to meet individual soldier configurations the company said. One RSR unit enables the use of secure military GPS to multiple systems on the soldier platform.
Mike Jones, vice president and general manager, communication and navigation products, Rockwell Collins, said: 'RSR's small size and very low power is the perfect solution for soldiers that need high assurance PNT (positioning, navigation and timing) for their commercial devices.
'And the global demand for this technology is growing significantly. Since launching RSR in 2015, more than 8,000 have been ordered, and several thousand are effectively being used in the field by JTACs, TACPs and dismounted soldiers. This technology takes the mental and physical burden off soldiers by providing them with worry-free confidence that they can execute all of their operations without being spoofed or jammed.'
