Produced by Thales, The TRC 5010P is a Personal Role Radio (PRR) designed for inter-squad communications and urban warfare. The lightweight (150 gr) radio set is operating in the 420-450 MHz UHF frequency band offering short range communications – 150 m in urban areas and up to 800 m in open terrain. The system has 20 pre-selected channels and has special features to enable intra-squad communications, including a squad leader pre-emption capability. The unit is operated by a remote finger PTT or by pushbuttons placed on the radio itself. A specially designed lightweight headset are provided for the system, for added Autonomy. The radio can operate for 16 hours with NiMH rechargeable battery or for more than 24 hours, with standard high power AAA alkaline cells. Low cost system

AFV Situational Awareness in the Urban Battlespace
Armored fighting vehicles face other challenges when operating in urban combat. They are exposed to snipers or anti-tank teams operating from elevated positions on rooftops or accessing underground shafts too close for the crew...
Israel’s Indoor Surveillance and Attack Drones
Operating drones low above ground and in complex terrain represents unique challenges, as most drone controls are limited to line of sight and uninterrupted satellite-based navigation. To endure in a GNSS-contested environment and operate indoors or underground, standard drones would not operate in such conditions. The drone platforms specially designed for subterranean or indoor environments require unique networking, sensing, navigation, and controls to enable such operations. Since these missions are complex and the drones are small, they are used in mission-specific roles such as autonomous mappers, FPV-operated lead elements, and armed effectors.
Dismounted Situational Awareness in the Urban Battlespace
Historically, military forces favored open terrain to avoid the defender’s advantages in urban and complex environments. This article explores the critical importance of advanced situational awareness in urban battlespaces, highlighting several innovations that enable dismounted forces to navigate and respond effectively, ensuring mission success and minimizing collateral damage.
