17 Jun 09. SELEX Communications launches Platform PRR: providing two-way, encrypted voice and data communication. In today’s expeditionary military environment, the need for close co-operation between mounted and dismounted troops, and their supporting vehicles, has never been greater. Both to take advantage of advances in situational awareness and to avoid fratricide, shared knowledge and efficient voice/data communications are vital for force protection. The Platform Personal Role Radio (PRR) enables communications between troops and supporting vehicles, both before and after the troops dismount. It is based on the current in-service UK PRR, and provides communications to the platform commander and crew. The system is normally deployed on platforms, which either carry the troops into operation or operate in close support of the dismounted troops. The platform and its crew become members of a net, providing intimate and immediate operational support. The Platform PRR has been designed to fit into a range of hard-skinned and soft-skinned military vehicles, and rotary-winged and transport aircraft. Interfacing with the platform harness, it provides communications between the crew and mounted, dismounted or transported troops equipped with PRR and the Enhanced Encrypted PRR (EZPRR). The Platform PRR can be used a in a variety of configurations to match the specific platform types, roles and operational scenarios. Installations, which are based on a core set of standard templates, can be readily customised for each specific platform, enabling rapid solutions to be delivered. Being based on the in-service PRR, the frequency selection and limited range ensure low probability of interception or detection (LPI and LPD). The Platform PRR is a module in the SELEX Communications Vehicle Integrated PRR (VIPRR) system, which can be interfaced with existing command and control and intercom systems on each vehicle, ensuring that the fightability of the platform is enhanced. This enables crew members to continue to access on-board higher level C2 systems without compromising security. Phil Robinson, Senior UK Vice-President, says, “The SELEX Communications Platform Personal Role Radio provides a vital capability in the coordinated operations of dismounted infantry, their parent vehicles and supporting weapons platforms.”
