Interoperable alliance: A4ESSOR presses for new NATO standard radio waveform

摘要

Europe's A4ESSOR consortium has disclosed a series of measures designed to improve and expand software-defined radio (SDR) communication. Launched in 2009 to explore the future of "coalition interoperability", the consortium, which is responsible for enhancing the interoperability of European armed forces, is led by the Organisation for Joint Armament Cooperation (OCCAR) and features the 'national champions' of European participating states. These include Bittium (Finland), Thales (France), Leonardo (Italy), Radmor (Poland), Indra (Spain), and Rohde & Schwarz (Germany). Upon its establishment, the consortium was tasked with developing a common architecture to be shared by the participants, in addition to a common European Secure Software Defined Radio (ESSOR) methodology and an ESSOR wideband High Data Rate Waveform (HDRWF).
