Rohde & Schwarz’s MR6000A, an airborne transceiver in the R&S M3AR product family, is intended for applications in military and civil environments including airborne platforms such as helicopters, transport aircraft, jets, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The transceiver covers the frequency range from 30 MHz to 400 MHz and supports the NATO frequency-hopping methods (transmission-security, or TRANSEC) HAVE QUICK and SATURN. Integrated NATO encryption (COMSEC) is available as an option to protect voice and data transmissions against eavesdropping. The transceiver is interoperable with the NATO KY-58 and KY-100 encryption devices as well as the ED 4-2 and the Rohde & Schwarz MMC 300.

Set in a housing that complies with the ARINC 600 standard, the MR6000A provides interfaces for connecting external devices such as an automatic direction finder (ADF), a Link 11 data terminal set (DTS), a data modem (IDM), or an external encryption device. If it is equipped with a cooling air intake, the transceiver can be operated continuously with full transmit power even at ambient temperatures of up to +71 °C. The company’s SECOS waveform combines TRANSEC and COMSEC functionality in a single waveform and is also available for the MR6000A. As many as 200 presets can be stored in the radio – with all of the information necessary for operating a given waveform.
