Following tests during the US Army's Expeditionary Warrior experiments, Raytheon revealed on 2 March that it had operationally deployed its
Enhanced Position Location Reporting System in the field as an IP-based, mobile, ad-hoc tactical wireless network to seamlessly deliver simultaneous voice, data and video streaming among soldiers, vehicles and unmanned systems.
of Waltham has produced its 20,000th
Enhanced Position Location Reporting System, the company said in a statement.
BTID transmitted ground pictures between platforms via the BTAPSS through to the CID server, which then pumped data up to aircraft via Link 16 or the
Enhanced Position Location Reporting System (EPLRS)-based Situational Awareness Data Link.
The AN/TSQ-158,
enhanced position location reporting system (EPLRS) radios,
It comes in two variants: one that is based on the ground force's ultra-high frequency radio network--the
enhanced position location reporting system, or EPLRS--and one that utilizes a commercial satellite communications network.
So very recently we put a very ugly piece of equipment on these things that translates Link 11 to Link 16 to Navy CEC (Co-operative Engagement Capability) to Army EPLARS (
Enhanced Position Location Reporting System), translate from one datalink to another kind of datalink, and you set up essentially what is an IP address in the sky as a passive capability of these orbiting airplanes in close proximity to the battle space.
Among the innovations on this front is the
Enhanced Position Location Reporting System (EPLRS), which provides a communications backbone for situational awareness, command and control, and other digital messaging.
This modification incorporates the revised HIMARS Maturation Detailed Test Schedule, includes post baseline software support through fiscal year 2002, as required for software maintenance, the layout design, and installation verification of the low cost fire control panel, and requirements analysis for
Enhanced Position Location Reporting System and the headless applique.
Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence Division (Fullerton, CA) with providing the US Army, US Navy and the US Marine Corps with 1,736
Enhanced Position Location Reporting System (EPLRS) Receiver transmitters and associated spare parts.
With the SNE extended down to the lower echelon radio nets, such as the Wideband Networked Waveform, Soldier Radio Waveform,
Enhanced Position Location Reporting System and Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System , radios can now "touch" the WIN-T network backbone, increasing the scope of the Army's entire communications network.
The radio network that the Army is deploying on tanks and trucks is called EPLRS (
enhanced position location reporting system), an ultra-high-frequency data radio that essentially functions like a radio-frequency modem.
The tactical communications radios that currently service the lower echelon Army units are dominated by two LOS Combat Network Radios that include the
Enhanced Position Location Reporting System and the Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System.
