The
new stations can be quickly deployed in any terrain and automatically guided to
a retransmission unit, providing round-the-clock communications in harsh
weather conditions.
MOSCOW, May 5. /TASS/. New satellite communications vehicles
Loshchina-GUS based on Tigr armored vehicles have passed state trials and will
arrive for the Russian troops in the second half of 2017, the press office of
Ruselectronics hi-tech manufacturer said on Friday.
"Ruselecronics
Holding Company [part of Rostec Corporation] has launched the serial
production of the R-444-D satellite communications station based on the Tigr-M
SpN special-purpose vehicle for the Defense Ministry of Russia," the press
office said.
"Compared to previous-generation stations, the new product, which is code-named Loshchina-GUS, can operate in motion and does not require any time for deployment," Ruselectronics said, adding that the vehicles had already passed state trials and the first stations would start arriving for the troops in the second half of 2017.
The new
satellite communications station is based on the chassis of the Tigr-M SpN
armored vehicle.
It is
protected from interference and equipped with a special antenna.
The vehicle
is also supplied with a mobile operator’s place that can be moved far away from
the station without losing the communications function.
The communications stations have been developed by Radiosvyaz Enterprise based in Krasnoyarsk in East Siberia. The new stations are designed to provide troops with highly reliable and secure satellite communications.
The new stations
can be quickly deployed in any terrain and be automatically guided to a
retransmission unit, providing round-the-clock communications in harsh weather
conditions.
The
Loshchina-GUS can provide a fast-speed digital communications channel for video
conferences, telephone and facsimile communications, and also transmit
encrypted information via a satellite channel. The system can operate through
re-transmitters of Globus-1M, Meridian, Sfera, Blagovest, Yamal and Express-AM
satellites.
