Operator confidence with Syncal 2000 is very high. The front panel has
been designed for operational simplicity - rotary switches coupled with a large,
clear LCD with back lighting gives good visual indications of the operational
status of the transceiver. When the set is switched on, it goes through a
comprehensive self-test routine and any problems are indicated on the display.
Spin wheel tuning allows fast access to any frequency required. Although channel
spacing is 100Hz, the clarifier facility allows fine tuning in 10Hz
increments.
The transceiver uses digital signal processing (DSP) which
not only gives improved transmit and receive performance but also gives improved
stability, reliability and maintainability. The receiver has a very high dynamic
range, reliable noise immune squelch giving good rebro capability and an
effective noise blanker which reduces interference, especially in the vehicle
role.
An optional internal Automatic Link Establishment (ALE) also uses DSP and is
compatible with other FED STD 1045 and MIL STD 188-141A radios. This important
feature enables the optimum operating channel to be automatically selected,
thereby reducing the level of operator skill required for maintaining high
circuit availability. A DTMF handset permits operator to operator dialling and
Lincompex speech processing provides enhanced voice quality.

Small size and weight make PANTHER-H ideal for special forces,
covert operations and conventional roles |
PANTHER-H operates in three distinct modes:
Standard fixed frequency voice and CW, allowing interoperability with
existing HF radios.
Adaptive fixed frequency, providing automatic clear channel search to counter
high levels of interference.
Intelligent frequency hopping, giving high grade ECCM communications in a
congested band.
Conventional Hopping Techniques Spectral congestion will remain a major
problem on skywave links where many users all around the world are competing for
the same relatively small part of the HF spectrum. At night, when signal
strengths are at their peak the problem is compounded even further.
Owing to the large number of signals in the hop band many of the hop channels
will be blocked making "conventional" hopping systems generally unusable.
Intelligent Frequency Hopping The only viable way to overcome the blocked
signal problem is intelligent frequency hopping as employed in PANTHER-H.
The system selects a sub-set of hopping frequencies, which are clear of
interference, thus eliminating the effect of blocked channels.
Hop rate is 10 hops per second, which gives good quality communications on
both skywave and mixed groundwave/skywave paths. SSB voice is used to maximise
voice quality whilst minimising spectral usage enabling the intelligent hopper
to fit into narrow gaps in the spectrum.
Hop bandwidths are automatically selected by the radio depending on operating
frequency and antenna type being used. Lists of hop frequencies can be manually
entered if desired, allowing hop bandwidths up to 2MHz.
The hop sequence is based on a non-linear keystream generator which has a 90
bit hopping key, giving 1027 possible hop sequences. Synchronisation is fully
automatic and is based on the battlefield proven Thales Defence systems. No
operator action or input such as time of day entry is required. Late entry into
a net is automatic and selective calling is provided. The synchronisation data
is inserted into the message whilst hopping, with no loss of voice quality.
Initial synchronisation data is sent at 20 hops per second to improve
performance and the intelligent hopping radio can be synchronised to up to ten
nets at once. The operator changes between nets simply by changing channel. This
allows PANTHER-H to cater for changes between day time and night time operation.
The radio will retain its synchronisation for over 24 hours of radio
silence.

V-EDR offers unsurpassed communications performance for a radio a fraction of
the size and weight of the current generation of equipment.
- The Panther V-EDR which is now in service in many
countries around the word, has been described as the easiest to use tactical VHF
EPM radio available today. Fully automatic initial and late entry
synchronisation in all EPM modes, coupled with the user friendly controls,
ensures that communicating is easy and reliable even for inexperienced
operators.
- Essential to multi-media radio networks is an on-air
management system able to provide voice priority and maximum throughput of data
at the same time. Panther EDR has been designed with built in multiple radio
access protocols, allowing integrated voice and data throughput on a radio net.
Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA) automatically controls data flow across a
radio network and is essential for managed mixed voice and data networks.
- The advanced facilities provided in the new Panther
V-EDR further simplify end enhance the radio s operation, including the
introduction of a full dot matrix alphanumeric display for mode indication, easy
to use menu structure, and programmable radio net names.
- The Panther V-EDR radio incorporates the very latest in
Digital Signal Processing technology providing a truly software configurable
digital architecture radio design. This means that the flexible design and
processing power available will ensure that future upgrades, to meet specific
operational requirements, can be achieved throughout the in service life of the
radio. Software upgrades are achieved without the need to open the radio, thus
ensuring that future requirements can be met in the field.
- To achieve the compact design and high reliability of
the radio, comprehensive use of surface mount technology has been made with over
95% of the components being SMDs.
- The Panther V-EDR radio provides the option for seamless
transfer of GPS position information from the externally connected GPS receiver
(Internal option available for PANTHER V-EDR GPS). Position information is
available on request (polled) or sent with each transmission. By embedding the
position coordinates within the encrypted on air link protocol, the information
is completely protected from enemy intercept, and additionally is transparent to
the radio's voice and data transmissions.
