TrellisWare Introduces Next Generation Waveform Katana™ − designed to increase resiliency for the modern battlefield

by | Oct 8, 2021 | News and Events

San Diego, CA – October 8, 2021 – TrellisWare Technologies, Inc., announced today the introduction of the Katana™ waveform, their newest resilient narrowband waveform designed to operate in highly contested radio frequency (RF) communication environments. TrellisWare continues to be the leader in the development and deployment of next generation Mobile Ad-hoc Networking (MANET) waveforms with the launch of Katana.

The Katana waveform represents the modernization of resilient long-range narrowband communications:

  • Provides simultaneous voice, Position Location Information (PLI), and data in a MANET scalable to hundreds of nodes.
  • Highly resilient to sophisticated electronic attack as validated in recent US Department of Defense (DoD) programs and testing.
  • Field-upgradeable for current generation TrellisWare® Software Defined Radios (SDRs) to support both the TSM™ waveform and Katana waveform.
  • Offering Primary, Alternate, Contingency, and Emergency (PACE) capability for operation in both congested and contested environments.
  • Supports Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) security level interoperability with US Army Program of Record (PoR) Warrior Robust Enhanced Networking (WREN) Narrowband (WREN NB) waveform.

“TrellisWare is excited to offer Katana as part of our MANET arsenal that addresses the evolving needs of the warfighter and provides communications in contested RF environments when nothing else works,” said Dr. Sungill Kim, director of product management and strategic partnerships. “The Katana waveform is designed to run on all of TrellisWare’s radios and modules and is SBU interoperable with the WREN NB waveform capable of running on all US Army single channel and multichannel Program of Record radios. We continue to be a leader in resilient waveforms, pursuing the latest technological innovations so that the warfighter is better prepared for conflicts with sophisticated adversaries.”

If you will be in Washington DC attending the AUSA Annual Meeting (October 11-13), please contact sales@trellisware.com to schedule a meeting to learn more about the Katana waveform capabilities.

TRELLISWARE PROVIDES ADVANCED NETWORKING WAVEFORM TO THE CANADIAN ARMED FORCES INTEGRATED SOLDIER SYSTEM SUITE

by | Sep 16, 2021 | News and Events

TrellisWare’s TSM™ waveform will provide the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) with advanced integrated tactical networking.

San Diego, California, September 14, 2021 – TrellisWare Technologies, Inc. will provide advanced networking waveform capability for the CAF’s Integrated Soldier System Suite (ISS-S; formerly known as the “ISSP” Integrated Soldier System Project) to support the mission of the dismounted soldier by providing voice, data, and situational awareness for better command execution.

The Canadian Armed Forces have selected the L3Harris™ RF-9820S powered by TrellisWare’s TSM™ waveform under license for the Integrated Soldier System Assaulter (ISS-A) Radio. This program serves to upgrade the existing ISS-S radio capability to provide both voice and data communication between soldiers, while automatically generating personal location information (PLI).

The TrellisWare TSM™ waveform provides highly scalable flat networking of voice and data that can be mission tailored for an entire Army Task Force with 800+ nodes in a single RF channel, and supports the CAF’s Land Tactical Command and Control (C2) Network with uninterrupted communications in dynamic environments.

The TSM waveform is ideally suited for diverse missions because the waveform can scale from narrow 1.2 MHz channels for voice and positional reporting, up to 4, 10, 20 and 40 MHz channels supporting the sharing of multiple videos and other data.

Equipped with the TSM waveform, the ISS-A Radios will be better suited for contested and congested environments, among other current and emerging communication challenges facing the CAF. Because TSM is a true Software-Defined Radio (SDR) waveform, TrellisWare continues to evolve the capability with enhanced features and resiliency, while protecting Canadian investment in existing radio platforms.

TrellisWare continues to support tactical command, control, and communications as networking needs and threats around the globe evolve. In partnership with Inter-Op Canada, our in-country TSM experts, TrellisWare remains committed to support additional and future needs of the Canadian Armed Forces and Department of National Defence.

Using TrellisWare’s innovative Barrage Relay™ technology at its core, the TSM waveform is fundamentally changing the way tactical networking can be deployed for Canadian, U.S. and Coalition Forces, further enabling American, British, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand Armies’ Program (ABCANZ) interoperability.

TrellisWare Teams with Spectranetix to Integrate TrellisWare Technologies’ TSM™ Waveform into their CMOSS ComScan® Solution for US Army Capability Set 23

by | Apr 28, 2021 | News and Events

SAN DIEGO – April 28, 2021 – TrellisWare Technologies, Inc. and Spectranetix, Inc. announced today that they have accomplished an industry-first integration of the TrellisWare® TSM™ waveform into the Spectranetix ComScan® communications solution developed for the US Army’s Capability Set 23 design goals.

Aligned with the US Army’s C5ISR Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS) Tactical Radio Waveforms, and The Open Group’s Sensor Open Systems Architecture™ (SOSA) technical standard, Spectranetix recently completed a successful Phase 2 test under US Army Technical Exchange Meeting 4 Capability Set 23 (TEM4 CS23) effort by delivering a prototype ComScan® multi-mission EW/SIGINT/COMMS/PNT system. The ComScan® system provides tactical communications network capability in line with the US Army’s CS23 objective of modernizing tactical network capacity, resiliency, and convergence.

“Spectranetix has been at the forefront of the development and driving the adoption of US Army CMOSS and The Open Group SOSA™ aligned capabilities by our customers,” said Bret Banfield, VP GM of Spectranetix. “This successful TEM4 CMOSS TSM demonstration furthers the Army’s objective of having a multi-mission converged capability on mounted vehicles.”

“TrellisWare is excited to team with Spectranetix with the integration of our TSM™ software into their CMOSS communications solution,” said Chris Litvin, director of TSM solutions at TrellisWare. “TrellisWare’s TSM waveform will be fielded as the advanced networking waveform for the ITN Capability Set 21 covering the Handheld, Manpack and Small Form Factor (HMS) Program of Record (PoR) platforms. The successful integration of TSM into the ComScan system is a major step towards realizing Army CS23 goals.”

The ComScan multi-mission system delivered under the program is CMOSS and SOSA™ aligned and is populated with the Precision Navigation and Timing (PNT) plugin card and SX-610 Mobile Ad-hoc Networking (MANET) CMOSS Radio Card to enable tactical communications via the TrellisWare® TSM™ MANET waveform. The TSM™ waveform provides transport of voice, data, and position location information over a wide range of frequencies in the UHF/L/S bands without requiring additional infrastructure.

The Phase 2 test was conducted at US Army Support Activity, Fort Dix where the ComScan® system was integrated into the Stryker platform, and demonstrated full interoperability with existing hand-held Army Leader radios utilizing the TSM-6 waveform. The Phase 1 test was conducted at the US Army’s Open Innovation Lab, APG.
