M3AR Series 6000 VHF/UHF Airborne Transceiver Family

摘要

Description. The M3AR series is a family of airborne military radios manufactured by Rohde & Schwarz. These radios are software operated, providing data and voice communications compatible with civil and military requirements. Status. In production. Application. The M3AR airborne radio family supports communications across fixed- and rotary-wing platforms, including UAVs. Platforms include the A109, A400M, EC 725, EMB-145, F-16, Fennec, H-3 Sea King, H-53, H-135, JAS 39 Gripen, KC-390, MD 530, Mi-8, Mi-17, Mi-24, Mi-35, Mirage, NH90, P-3 Orion, Predator B, Su-30, Super Lynx, Super Puma, Super Tucano, Tiger, Tornado, Typhoon, and W-3A. The next-generation SOVERON AR (AR5000, SDAR) has been certified for the CH-47 Chinook. Price Range. Forecast International estimates that the price of one M3AR Series 6000 VHF/UHF airborne transceiver system ranges from $80,000 to $225,000. A typical installation requires two to four transceivers per aircraft. Note: Among other factors, price would vary by the number of radios ordered (the larger the quantity ordered, the lower the price). The M3AR Series 6000 is an airborne VHF/UHF, AM/FM, voice/data system that consists of a receiver, a transmitter, power supply, a remote-control unit, an antenna, and a retrofit adapter. Variants are designed for installation in the cockpit or avionics bay. The compact, lightweight unit weighs 4 kilograms (8.8 lb) and withstands temperatures of -54°C to +71℃ (-65°F to+160°F). The M3AR is a multiservice technology operable in multibands (tactical VHF/UHF). It is a multimode system - i.e., capable of operating in different scenarios- designed as a P3I (preplanned product improvement) so that new or modified functionalities can be added through software downloads. The radio operates in the 30-MHz to 400-MHz frequency range, incorporating: 1. Tactical VHF - 30 MHz to 88 MHz 2. Civil Aviation VHF - 108 MHz to 137 MHz 3. Military ATC VHF - 137 MHz to 144 MHz 4. Military Aviation UHF - 225 MHz to 400 MHz Channel spacing is 25 kHz and 8.33 kHz. (The radio provides 8.33-KHz channel spacing to meet European civil aircraft communication requirements.) FM immunity is inherent in the radio.
