ST@R Mille -S is a Thales brand new soldier radio providing an enhanced handheld solution for intra squad communications, able to be used in stand-alone configuration or easily integrated in a soldier C4I sub-system for advanced soldier applications (e.g. Situation Awareness).
Thanks to its advanced RF and signal processing and IP capacity, ST@R Mille -S greatly improves the coordination and awareness of soldiers within squad/team. Some key features are:
- Low UHF frequency band providing an optimized range in all conditions including urban and dense vegetation environments
- Infrastructure-free and self-synchronized network architecture for easy deployment without any network constraints
- Simultaneous voice, GPS/short message and data capacity for better QOS management
- Duplex voice and conference with up to three talkers and unlimited numbers of listeners for improved coordination
- High user data rate capacity (~300 kbps) for real-time data transmission such as video, in addition to voice and GPS/short messages services
- Dual Push-To-Talk for connectivity with other radio(e.g. attached CNR) allowing communication with other networks
- USB/Ethernet interface for easy integration with computer, tablet or PDA in soldier C4I sub-systems
- AES256 encryption providing enhanced security
ST@R Mille -S is also available in intra Platoon version (ST@R Mille -P) and vehicular lightweight version (ST@R Mille -V) for easy integration in mounted configuration.
ST@R Mille handheld radio associated with its set of ancillaries (lightweight headset, vehicle installation kit, tactical PDA…) provides a comprehensive and powerful solution for Soldier Modernization Programs and Homeland Security applications.
