The Tactical Retransmission Unit (TRU) is a small, lightweight

extension to the FALCON II

encrypted voice or data transmission range to be extended in a

repeater or rebroadcast configuration.

The unit is a self-contained assembly designed for unattended

operation. The unit does not require encryption/decryption

capability, thus eliminating the need for physical site security. The

user interface includes a password-protected screen blanking and

keypad lock feature to avoid compromise of any communication

plan details. The small size and weight of the TRU can be adapted

to fixed-site, mobile, or manportable platforms.

The TRU is configured as two frequency-independent radio units,

labeled Radio A and Radio B. Available in VHF-VHF, the standard

product includes built-in RF filtering to divide the available

spectrum into two bands.

Additional filtering configurations can be designed to

accommodate custom frequency plans and spectrum restrictions

for varying users and geographical areas.

A full line of FALCON II accessories is available, including AC/DC

power supply, shock mounting, standard BB-series batteries, and

battery boxes. A variety of antennas may be used with the TRU,

depending upon mission requirements. Selection and positioning

of the antennas will determine the range and operational

characteristics of the system.

Example uses include:
