the software defined, multiband-capable airborne transceivers of the r&s®m3ar family feature a modular design and state-of-the-art technology. this leads to high mtbf values and a long life. the compact and lightweight transceivers offer high performance, making them suitable for operation in all types of aircraft, including unmanned aerial vehicles. different waveforms are available, which can be installed at any time to provide interoperability in a variety of operational scenarios.
the r&s®m3ar family is the product of decades of experience, especially in the design and development of airborne radio equipment and software defined radio technology. the r&s®m3ar multiband, multimode, multirole radio is the solution of choice for the reliable transmission of mission-critical information, whether it's for jet or propeller aircraft, helicopters or unmanned aerial vehicles.
rohde & schwarz satisfies the most demanding requirements of a multitude of airborne platforms. the r&s®m3ar transceivers are in operation around the world and feature high reliability even under extreme environmental conditions. the outstanding mtbf values ensure low maintenance effort and high availability.
a variety of optional epm (eccm) methods are available. for instance, the r&s®secos frequency hopping method with integrated encryption can be installed in parallel with have quick i/ii.
the r&s®m3ar family consists of the r&s®mr6000a in an arinc 600 housing and the r&s®mr6000r/ r&s®mr6000l, both of which are arc-164 form & fit compatible. the r&s®mr6000l is equipped with a local control panel while the r&s®mr6000r is remote-controlled. all r&s®m3ar radios can be remote-controlled via the mil‑std-1553b data bus, as well as by the r&s®gb6500 control unit. the r&s®mr6000r or r&s®mr6000l can serve as a form, fit and function (f3) replacement for legacy an/arc-164 radios.
