The vehicle installation enables secure voice and data services to be shared seamlessly between platform and soldier.
The Vehicle Mounted SquadNet Radio offers full interoperability with the soldier radio to provide secure and reliable voice connection. It delivers low latency blue force tracking between vehicles and troops to prevent fratricide and improve coordination.
It can exchange data such as target locations and pictures between vehicles and troops, enabling the queuing of vehicle mounted optics and weapons or retransmission to other platforms to better support dismounted operations.
Thales has secured an initial customer for the Vehicle Mounted SquadNet Radio and will commence deliveries in 2026. Prototype units are available.
