RT5 — Tactical Communications Terminal

Posted on February 8, 2016

The RT5 is an ultra-rugged Tactical Terminal that works with any HF, VHF or UHF radio to provide secure voice, position and data messaging services.

RT5 incorporates RAPTAWC next-generation secure digital voice (SDV) radio speech encryption using new language-independent TWELP low-rate vocoders combined with powerful AES-256 encryption, modulated for HF/VHF/UHF.

Fielded RT5 units periodically send out position information, allowing other RT5 units and CommandPoint software users to track Blue Forces. RAPTAWC provides fast accurate messaging services such as: chat and QuickText, email, pictures and data files, situation reports, and SMS to GSM networks.

RAPTAWC software provides key management for secure key generation and distribution that ensures all over-the-air communications are end-to-end encrypted. System configuration is accomplished with asy-to-use software for rapid creation and distribution of address books, network parameters and device configurations.
