RAFAEL’s BNET SDR communication selected by Asian air force

Rafael Advanced Defense Systems has been selected by an Asian air force to equip its fleet of aircraft with the BNET-AR communications solution.

The BNET family of SDR provides a robust voice and data connectivity solution and supports simultaneous data, voice and video services with multiple automatic relays.

BNET is operational and battle-proven with a number of air forces around the world, featuring a unique, proprietary software-defined radio and network architecture providing broadband communications with low latency and reliable connectivity.

The variant that will be delivered is BNET-ARmodular multi-band SDR for airborne platforms, integrated airborne fighters and helicopters, as well as ground control stations equipped with the same BNET-AR, enabling network-oriented operations and real-time situational awareness.

The BNET family is a spectrum-aware SDR – utilizing the battlefield’s spectral arena in a cognitive way to the fullest, thus addressing the challenges of the modern battlefield (eg limited spectrum, linking multiple sensors and shooters, etc. .n.). All this is achieved through BNET’s patented technology – Multi-Channel Reception (MCR), which allows it to receive and analyze information from multiple frequency channels, simultaneously, using a single RF head.

Vice President Yoav Vermuth, head of Rafael’s C3I lead: “This new contract strengthens our position as a major provider of air communications systems as vital factors required to be flexible, enable rapid deployment, be highly scalable and remain robust in the face of the chaos of battle all the time operating under constant jamming and cyberattacks”.
