Sentry-H Transportable Radio System

TRANSPORTABLE RADIO SYSTEM (TRS) / SOFTWARE DEFINED RADIO

A rugged, software-defined HF station delivering 150 W of RF output, expandable to 500 W, for voice and data wherever the mission has to move.

Book A Demo

HF standards keep evolving. The Sentry-H Transportable Radio System runs on the software-defined 6120-BM core, so new waveforms, calling standards, and encryption arrive by software update. No depot return. Second-generation digital voice holds intelligible speech as channels degrade, and the same proven core carries thousands of field hours behind every build.

A transportable radio system has to fit the network it joins. The Sentry-H TRS puts the radio at the centre of an IP station: multiple control points at once, from a 2330 Desk Console to a Virtual Control Point across the network. JITC-certified ALE and coalition-standard waveforms reach partner and legacy HF networks, and automatic link management holds the best channel without operator input.

Field service is unforgiving. The Sentry-H ships in rugged, shock-absorbing transit cases and runs at 100% continuous duty from -30 °C to +50 °C. If VSWR or heat spikes, the amplifier drops to bypass so the station stays on air. AES-256 COMSEC and ECCM frequency hopping protect every link. Behind it stands DTC: sovereign engineering, more than 65 years of HF development, and support across 165+ countries.

MISSION OUTCOME

The Sentry-H Transportable Radio System delivers software-defined HF voice and data from a rugged station that sets up, tears down, and moves under pressure. Built for military and public safety programmes, it holds 150 W and expands to 500 W when the mission demands it. From forward teams to fixed sites, the Sentry-H Transportable Radio System keeps the link up through every relocation.
