Marine Corps officials are developing technology that will bridge the gap between existing radio systems and the future software-based Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS).
The technology, called Command and Control on the Move Network, Digital Over the Horizon Relay (CONDOR), is designed to use legacy radios to provide network access for warfighters. CONDOR will allow troops on the ground to become accustomed to JTRS, which will use software-programmable radio technology to provide real-time communications through voice, data and video across the military services, before it becomes mandatory.
At the same time, the technology will provide command and control on the move and eliminate beyond-line-of-sight barriers that have plagued battlefield communications.
