ASTi Tactical Radio Simulators

ASTi's radio simulator products are an ideal solution for military or civil training programs that provide hands-on experience with the operation of communications systems. ASTi radio simulators provide the realistic look, feel and functionality of a live radio, but at a fraction of the cost.

The radio simulator operates over IP networks, and is interoperable with a wide variety of simulators installed in major Army training programs including: AVCATT, CCTT, BCTC and VBS2^TM. The training scenario easily expands to include additional simulated panels, live radios, as well as additional operators, instructors, or role-players.

Key benefits include:

• The sophisticated ASTi radio model is embedded inside, and delivers highly-realistic operation to the user.
• ASTi radio simulators operate over IP data networks, and do not emit radio frequency (RF) transmissions. This eliminates problems associated with live radio use, such as complicated spectrum management issues and potential health risks related to RF exposure.
• ASTi radio simulators are available in hardware versions for maximum physical realism and software GUI versions for maximum economy.
• ASTi's software allows construction of radio presets using standard parameters (i.e., frequency, modulation, frequency hop modes, and crypto fills) for quick and efficient distribution to all radio simulators.
• Expand your training scenario with a wide range of radio simulator solutions from classroom applications to distributed LAN/WAN based training environments and high-end air, sea, and land platform training systems.
• Create and store multiple sets of preferred exercise configurations for convenient set up and rapid deployment.

• Custom configurable solutions for a variety of training scenarios.
• Conserves live radio usage and reduces the costs incurred due to maintaining live radios.
• Centralized, network-based configuration and management of radio simulators.
• Compatible with a variety of audio interfaces including standard military handsets.

The look and feel of any simulated radio is important to successful training. ASTi's hardware interface presents the operator with a high-fidelity replica of the original radio, providing realistic tactile and visual cues. Details of the radio's keypad, control operation and display graphics are engineered to provide intuitive interaction and focused training.

ASTi offers a variety of custom radio software GUI versions for maximum economy. The software radio GUI offers more flexibility with the ability to reconfigure the radio interface for various tactical radios.
