SINCGARS

In the CNR network, the SINCGARS’ primary role is voice transmission between surface and airborne command and control (C2) assets.

The SINCGARS is designed on a modular basis to achieve maximum commonality among various ground, maritime, and airborne configurations.

The system is compatible with all current U.S. and allied VHF-frequency modulation (FM) radios in the SC, nonsecure mode.

It accepts either digital or analog inputs and superimposes the signal onto a radio frequency (RF) carrier wave.

These continual changes in frequency hinder threat interception and jamming units from locating or disrupting friendly communications.

Those RTs with power settings can vary transmission range from approximately 200 meters (660 feet) to 10 kilometers (km) (6.2 miles).
