Description
The TR2400 forms the basis of a new generation of long haul HF communications products designed to meet the requirements of the modern digital battlefield. Based on Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology, the TR2400 is claimed to be inherently more reliable than discrete component architectures and provides flexibility in configuration and future growth.MIL-STD-188-141A ALE with a quick set up option simplifies operator tasks, while the intelligent squelch function assists in preventing operator fatigue. Enhanced intelligibility is obtained by applying speech compression/expansion and noise blanking techniques in the software domain. Error free, high-speed data transfer in a network environment is said to result from use of the STANAG 5066 data link protocol.Secure digital voice is provided, even in the frequency hopping mode, by software based vocoder options (either 2,400 or 800 bits/s). Various levels of BITE are available.High-rate frequency hopping is provided, both for point-to-point or network operation. Intelligent use of unoccupied channels and improved AGC operation ensure sustained communications in dense transmission environments.The embedded ALE function conforms to the interoperability requirements of MIL-STD-188-141A, and includes a Quick ALE option that is up to 60 per cent faster than MIL-STD-188-141A.The loudspeaker is only activated when an embedded intelligent squelch algorithm detects the presence of a valid signal, thus eliminating the background noise and operator fatigue, characteristic of conventional HF circuits.A proprietary selective calling function provides for point-to-point, group and all call addressing.By applying speech compression and expansion techniques the signal-to-noise ratio of voice channels is improved; this is claimed to

Status
According to Jane's International Defense Review the TR2400 was developed with some support from EADS in Germany (where it is designated CHX 400) and, in 2003, the contractor claimed the radio was the only HF manpack on the market capable of offering a 100 kW output with a 24 V power supply (peak output using a standard 12 V battery is 25 W).By March 2003 around 400 TR2400 transceivers were believed to have been shipped, including a quantity to the South African National Defence Force as part of the Ground-Based Air Defence System (GBADS). The radio was also included in a 2004 contract placed by the Indian authorities for the supply of equipment destined for the Indian Army, Air Force and Indian Defence Research and Development Organisation. In mid-2006, Saab Grintek's Indian partner, the Electronics Corporation of India Ltd (ECIL), reported that around 350 TR2400 units had been manufactured and supplied in various configurations in its market.The TR2400 is also reported to have been supplied to the Bangladesh Armed Forces where it replaces the AN/PRC-77.

I guess its was published in 2010, so a bit old. Not sure if posted before!


Cheers!!!
 
Lool woah, i myself posted it 1 year back! Haha my bad!

MODs, please delete the thread.

Cheers!!!
It is ok even if it is a duplicate thread. Please someone tell us the present status of this HF communications system. Has it already been supplied to the BA, or it is still under negotiation?

Yes bro, it has already been supplied...its clearly mentioned in the highlighted part of the article. However, no idea about the quantity and price. Please share if possible.


Cheers!!!
 
Description:
The TR2400 forms part of SSG’s Tactical HF communication product range which was designed to meet the operational requirements of the modern digital battlefield. The TR2400 environmental and electromagnetic compliance is based on MIL-STD-810E and MIL-STD-461D respectively.

The TR2400 uses Micro/DSP technology that allows configuration flexibility and an upgrade path. The TR2400 provides the user with voice and data communications for manpack applications as well as base station and vehicle installations. A unique feature of this transceiver is that the output power is typically 25 W when powered from the supplied manportable battery and typically 100 W when powered from a 26 V vehicle battery.

The TR2400 with its external co-location filter provides the user with the capability to operate multiple transceivers in a co-located environment.
