ARMAMENTS

Israeli Rafael’s BNET system recently debuted at DSEI 2021 on September 14-17.

The BNET broadband IP MANET (Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork), supports the modern digital battlefield’s needs with high-speed, low-delay, reliable connectivity for broadband data, voice, and video on-the-move. 

According to the company, BNET enables all radios of the land, sea, and air units to participate in a single, seamless, scalable MANET network delivering unprecedented network capacity in terms of data rates, a number of users, and minimal delay for tactical operations. This enables a network rate of 100Mbps while facilitating the formation of a single “flat” network, scaling up to thousands of radios.

Benefits

• High Scalability +1000 Users 
• Multi-Band, IP, Software Defined Radio S.C.A. 2.2.2 Compliant
• Multi-Channel Reception MANET Waveform
• Ultra-High Capacity
• High-Speed, Low Delay
• Efficiency and full utilization of the limited spectrum resource
• Operational simplicity and ease of operation
• Simple maintenance and logistic survivability
• Open architecture using IP technology, allowing smooth, cost-effective integration with existing and future applications

Main Capabilities

• Diverse wideband voice, video & various IP data services, transmitted over seamless wireless networks
• Communication continuity in all conditions and system survivability
• Support for delay-sensitive applications (i.e. closing sensor-to-shooter cycles)
• Support for “flat” networks with thousands of members in changing traffic and variable link conditions (mountainous, alpine, urban, hilly, sub-alpine, forested, etc.)
• Interoperability between branches and between military and paramilitary forces (“blue light” forces)
• Fast network forming and healing 
• Networking ECCM capabilities; frequency-hopping spread spectrum techniques
