SELEX Elsag's HF communication systems get onboard of new British Chinook
The system will feature next-generation ALE (Automatic Link Establishment) capability, the international standard which allows rapid and reliable HF radio communications. SELEX Elsag already supplied the previous CH-47 MK-2A version with HF ALE1G avionic systems.
The SRT-270 is the outcome of advanced research and development activity carried out by SELEX Elsag within the High-Frequency sector. It provides voice/data radio communications for avionic applications, across the 2MHz and 30MHz frequency range. It also features high power transmission, of up to 200 Watt PEP/100 Watt AVG.
The equipment encompasses the control panel, which provides a user-friendly man-machine interface through an LCD display - compatible with night scopes - to a “loop” antenna, which, combined with the ATU (Antenna Tuning Unit), ensures effective communications on the whole HF range.
