The Tactical Retransmission Unit (TRU) is a small, lightweight
extension to the FALCON II^® family of tactical radios that allows
encrypted voice or data transmission range to be extended in a
repeater or rebroadcast configuration.
The unit is a self-contained assembly designed for unattended
operation. The unit does not require encryption/decryption
capability, thus eliminating the need for physical site security. The
user interface includes a password-protected screen blanking and
keypad lock feature to avoid compromise of any communication
plan details. The small size and weight of the TRU can be adapted
to fixed-site, mobile, or manportable platforms.
The TRU is configured as two frequency-independent radio units,
labeled Radio A and Radio B. Available in VHF-VHF, the standard
product includes built-in RF filtering to divide the available
spectrum into two bands.
Additional filtering configurations can be designed to
accommodate custom frequency plans and spectrum restrictions
for varying users and geographical areas.
A full line of FALCON II accessories is available, including AC/DC
power supply, shock mounting, standard BB-series batteries, and
battery boxes. A variety of antennas may be used with the TRU,
depending upon mission requirements. Selection and positioning
of the antennas will determine the range and operational
characteristics of the system.
Example uses include:
■ _{Local area communications coverage}
■ _{Tactical extension of strategic nets}
■ _{Urban or maritime counter-terrorism operations}
■ _{Deployable VIP protection nets}
