Mid-tier Networking Vehicular Radio (MNVR)

Abstract

Product Manager Mid-tier Networking Vehicular Radios (MNVR) provides software-defined, multi-channel networking radios for a wide variety of Army tactical vehicles to meet the Army's requirement for the Mid-tier Wideband Networking (MWN) capability. The MNVR provides self-forming and self-healing communication networks from the brigade to the platoon level throughout the full range of military operations. The Mid-tier Networking Vehicular Radio (MNVR), a modified Non-Developmental (NDI), is a multi-channel, Type 1 (supporting multiple independent levels of security), vehicular mounted radio hosting networking waveforms, Wideband Networking Waveform (WNW) and Solider Radio Waveform (SRW), respectively, which support Army Mission Command operational requirements. The MNVR narrows the data capability gap at the Brigade Combat Team (BCT) company level and provides the capability to build a data extension to the lowest echelons, and then enables the extension of services from the Forward Operating Base (FOB) to the platform. MNVR provides a dynamic, scalable, On-the-Move (OTM) network architecture, connecting the Soldier to the Mission Command (MC) Network and enhances capability to exchange voice and data simultaneously and faster than current systems. The advanced network waveforms provide rapid distribution of data and imagery with increased information assurance protection and automatic routing across complex terrain. The system will operate Internet Protocol (IP) based networking waveforms offering increased data throughput through self-forming, self-healing, managed communication networks. It's route and retransmit functionality links waveforms in different frequency bands, within the 2 Megahertz (MHz) to 2 Gigahertz (GHz), to form one coherent network.
