OVERVIEW

The Eagle Close Combat Radio is a Frequency Hopping Networked Rad io
incorporating 128 bit AES Encryption.

The radio can be used in individual, group or multiple group scenarios. This
functionality may be set/changed by the designated commander. Eagle radio may
also be connected to a COBHAM Intercom system allowing Eagle users to
communicate with crew and vehicle mounted radio system s.
In addition a Manpack Combat Net Radio (CNR’s) can be conne cted to the Eagle
radio, expanding the communications network for eagle u sers.

Eagle Radio may be configured in one of two operating modes:

1.Soldier mode

2.Commander Mode
These modes determine the functionality of the radio providing users with specific

functionality dependant upon there role.
All functions are accessed and configured using aural menus through the headset
once a unit is turned on.

Note: When the Radio is turned on a WARNING TONE will sou nd every 4 seconds
through the headset if no group/network is detected. This same tone will
occur if a radio ever leaves a group/network it has previously been part of.
