PRODUCT OF THE WEEK: Silvus StreamCaster Lite 5200 MANET radio

This week’s product, the Silvus StreamCaster Lite 5200 MANET radio, delivers the performance of StreamCaster MANET radios in an ultra-low size, weight, and power (SWaP) footprint. The SL5200 combines command and control (C2), sensor, and telemetry data with communications-relay capabilities – enabling seamless integration into a range of tactical applications such as unmanned systems.

Compact and versatile, the SL5200 delivers high-fidelity video, voice, and IP data communications at mission speed.

The company’s proprietary is capable of linking hundreds of nodes with electronic warfare resiliency and scalability. It connects multiple UAVs, UGVs, USVs, sensors, personnel, and manned/unmanned platforms through one massively scalable mesh network that’s natively compatible with 4000-series StreamCaster MANET radios.

Spectrum Dominance

The part has advanced FIPS 140-3 encryption and available access to Spectrum Dominance, a software licensable extension to the Silvus MN-MIMO waveform. Spectrum Dominance is an expansive suite of low probability of intercept/low probability of detection (LPI/LPD) and antijamming resiliency capabilities that enable secure and protected communications without sacrificing performance, even under electronic attack.

StreamCaster MANET radios are also the first and only tactical radios to receive FIPS 140-3 Level 2 validation, meeting the U.S. government’s highest security requirements for cryptographic modules for sensitive data protection.
