Rockwell Collins demonstrates civil/military communications interoperability
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (October 03, 2005) - Rockwell Collins will demonstrate its multi-band, multi-mode ARC-210 radio system's ability to allow voice communications
between military aircraft and ground units and local law enforcement and first responders. The demonstrations will take place
in the company's booth 2625 during the AUSA Annual Meeting & Exposition in Washington, DC.
"This capability allows military and local officials to cooperate efficiently during emergency operations, enhancing public
safety by allowing for quick reaction to developing events," said Bruce King, vice president and general manager of Communications
Systems at Rockwell Collins.
The demonstrations will take place between the AN/ARC-210 and a handheld radio with a frequency range up to 512 MHz, the range
used by civilian authorities. Specific capabilities in the AN/ARC-210's 400 to 512 MHz frequency band include features required
for civil service/land mobile agency interoperability. Among the features are transmit and receive operations using channel
spacing of 25 to 12.5 kHz; transmit modulation in compliance with Federal Communication Commission bandwidth requirements;
and private line encoding and decoding of Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System sub-audible tones.
