Introduction

1. IntRoduCtIon to the PeRsonAL RoLe RAdIo

FAMILY oF CAPAbILItIes

Todays theatre of war is a dynamic asymmetric battlespace.

Forces on the ground are often involved in simultaneous

operations, with an increased emphasis on urban warfare.

The Personal Role Radio (PRR) family of capabilities

signicantly enhances combat effectiveness by providing all-

informed communications to front line soldiers across many

operational scenarios.

Operatioa beets

The use of PRR within infantry units greatly enhances all

aspects of dismounted combat. Operations are much slicker,

more effectively applied, better co-ordinated and safer. Key

operational enhancements are:

Increased tempo of operations

Improved situational awareness

Improved targeting and direction of re

Element of surprise maintained, particularly in urban

operations

Improved survivability: reduced friendly re

Quicker briengs

Better/quicker re-supply operations

Better resource visibility

Users on active service have described the introduction

of PRR as having a profound effect on the operational

effectiveness of the infantry soldier and unit.

The PRR uses advanced 2.4GHz spread spectrum technology

innovatively packaged to meet the demanding needs of the

soldier. The PRR system is easy to use through its simple man

machine interface, is unobtrusive and comfortable to wear

yet is rugged enough to operate in the harshest environments

presented by active front line operations.

The modularity of the PRR design leads to exibility and its

use in many scenarios.

The entry standard PRR radio incorporates all of the main

features. Further enhancements are incorporated to deliver

the Enhanced PRR capabilities, EZPRR.

4. enhAnCed PeRsonAL RoLe RAdIo

The EZPRR retains the capabilities of the operationally proven

PRR, ensuring the existing operational effectiveness is not

compromised by any of the new enhancements.

Eae features (EZPRR)

Encryption high value voice and data information is

further protected.

Backward compatibility with existing PRR systems

Extended range 100mW PRR with enhanced operating

range

Enhanced antenna a higher gain, more efcient antenna

provides improved coverage

Goose neck antenna a more exible base to the radio

antenna allows for special to task positioning

Data enabled EZPRR supports situational awareness and

C3I systems.

PTT Swit Paks

The PRR/EZPRR can be congured in two roles. The PRR

body is tted with one of two interchangeable PTT switch

assemblies:

Single PTT Switch Pack = Single user, operating the PRR/

EZPRR only

Dual PTT Switch Pack = the Commander is able to connect

to the PRR/EZPRR and a Combat Net Radio (CNR).

Both versions include a unique wireless

Press-To-Talk (PTT) that enables the user

to operate the radio without removing

his hands from his weapon.

An audio ancillaries socket is

incorporated into the Switch

Packs in to which the SELEX

Communications Lightweight

Headset, or alternative

ancillaries, can be

connected.

5. I n-ThE-EAR hEARIng PROTEcTIOn (ITE)

The SELEX Hearing Protection Headset Suite has been

designed to protect soldiers hearing. The range provides

the exibility to allow users to adapt to changes around the

theatre of operations without the need for any reconguration

or compromise of the hearing protection or communications.

Integrated into the PRR/EZPRR, the ITE system offers

excellent levels of hearing protection, coupled with Situational

Awareness, without increasing the size or weight of the radio

equipment being carried.

Where operations dictate and users require a more exible

radio/intercom capability, the intelligent radio interface

system (ITE-enabled CTX) allows simultaneous integration

into two radio systems and a platform communications

intercom.

An ITE stand-alone option will offer both hearing protection

and familiarity for non radio users.

ITE features

High level of passive hearing protection

Selectable 360 Situational Awareness via multiple

directional microphones

Provide enhanced side impact protection

Impulse noise reduction to safe levels, ensuring Situational

Awareness, even in the heat of battle

Hearing protection technology is encapsulated into a PRR/

EZPRR switch pack, which can be procured with a PRR/

EZPRR radio or independently as an upgrade to already in

service PRR/EZPRR

Powered from the PRR batteries, without affecting the

current 24-hour battery performance

Fixed Base Force Protection (FBFP) provides a cohesive

communications infrastructure, giving base security troops the

capabilities required in and around xed bases. It enhances

the effectiveness of individuals committed in their fundamental

roles as Force Protection by giving them the exibility to utilise

vehicles, static guard posts, vehicle check points and foot

patrols. FBFP provides an all-informed, all-secure, all on one

EZPRR-based network system of communication.

The FBFP system is based on the key design features of the

Enhanced Personal Role Radio (EZPRR), utilising a purpose

built mast mounted Radio Rebroadcast (RRB) and Command

Post Unit.
