Most advanced SDR, multi-adaptive IP HF radio system for digital and analog voice and high-speed data communications
The HF-8000 radio system – designed to surpass the traditional limitations of HF communications – delivers superior HF performance, maintaining uninterrupted data and voice communications on the battlefield. Incorporating a wide range of proprietary tactical antennas, the HF-8000 provides highly-reliable and secure voice and high-speed data, IP networking, and advanced COMSEC and ECCM functions.
In addition, the system is backward interoperable with the 4 HF-6000, and can be fully integrated with C4I systems. The radio system is available in multiple configurations, including lightweight man-pack, vehicular, ship, fixed and high-power strategic stations.
Multi-adaptive – The HF-8000 is well-positioned to adapt to even the harshest battlefield scenarios. The system’s advanced capabilities include robust vocoder and SMS capabilities;
frequency-hopping over the entire frequency band, providing dependable operations even in densely jammed environments; specially designed tactical HF antennas, enabling rapid and reliable automatic link establishment; and a high probability of error-free data transmission supported by a built-in high-rate data modem.
The HF-8000 has the ability to transmit messages to individuals, groups or all network members (selective calling). An easy-to-navigate, menu-based graphic display offers user-friendly visual alerts and up-to-the-minute
radio status information.
Antenna Solutions
Elbit Systems offers a variety of antennas based on operational needs. The proprietary NVIS HLA and HTDA tactical antennas solutions are designed to overcome “skip zone” communications problems and provide continuous coverage from zero to thousands of kilometers.
The NVIS antennas are available for manpack, vehicular, base and marine configurations.
