Mid-tier Networking Vehicular Radios

Mid-tier Networking Vehicular Radios (MNVR) provides the terrestrial backbone for the Army's tactical network enabling the extension of mission command through seamless integration of the upper and lower tiers. MNVR provides software-defined, two channel networking radios for a wide variety of Army tactical vehicles to meet the Army's requirement for the Mid-tier Wideband Networking capability.

Description

The MNVR system provides an extension of data services from the upper tactical network at brigade and battalion to the lower tactical network at company and platoon echelons. The advanced network waveforms provide rapid distribution of data and imagery with increased information assurance protection and automatic routing across complex terrain. The MNVR capability consists of modular radios capable of running softwaredefined waveforms, which operate as nodes in a network to ensure secure wireless communication and networking services for mobile and stationary forces. This supports Mission Command, sensor-to-shooter, sustainment and survivability applications through the full range of military operations on tactical platforms.

Capabilities

• MNVR can operate new Internet Protocol (IP) based networking waveforms offering increased data throughput through self-forming, self-healing and managed communication networks.
• Dynamic, scalable, on-the-move (OTM) network architecture, connecting the Soldier to the mission command network and enhances capability to exchange voice and data simultaneously and faster than current systems.
• Advanced network waveforms provide rapid distribution of data and imagery with increased information assurance protection and automatic routing across complex terrain.
