Summary/Abstract: A series of software-defined multiband programmable radios and waveforms designed to transfer voice, data and video with the goal of connecting small tactical units with larger battlefield networks is developing in this time. By drawing on available spectrum, waveforms provide secure wireless networking services for mobile and stationary forces to transmit and receive information, including voice, data, images and video. While there are many waveforms, three in particular—Soldier Radio Waveform (SRW), Wideband Networking Waveform (WNW) and Mobile User Objective System (MUOS)—are playing critical roles in tactical radio operation and performance.
