With mobility restored in Phase 1, protection enhanced in Phase 2, and firepower upgraded in Phase 3, Phase 4 of the Ratel SLEP focuses on achieving full connectivity across the force.
This has been accomplished through the integration of advanced digital systems, including a modern navigation system, a battle management system, blue force tracking, and the in-service PROJECT RADIATE digital multiband radios.
The Ratel SLEP now features state-of-the-art interoperability capabilities, enabling real-time transmission and reception of encrypted digital data, voice, video, target information, and blue force tracking.
Interoperability is the game-changer that allows the Ratel SLEP to take on a leading role in various operations, from surveillance and border patrols to urban and asymmetric warfare, and even back to more conventional battlefields.
The diagram illustrates the connectivity now enabled, which allows for identification, geo-location, target designation, and seamless sharing of real-time data with friendly forces. This is all while monitoring blue force assets in real time.
