New software could improve military radio communication

[blantonl]

Designers of military radio systems who face the task of designing equipment that can communicate among the hodgepodge of gear that coalition forces bring to a battlefield could benefit from upgraded signal processing software for the transceivers, according to Spectrum Signal Processing, a unit of Vecina.

The company announced a product known as "waveform physical layer software" that plays a key role in military radio systems for both terrestrial communications and for MilSatCom, or links to and from satellite transceivers.

Ah yes, DSP is the wave of the future. I can't wait until it is cheap enough to put that kind of power in a scanner!

They already have it. Radio Shack's PRO-96/PRO-2096, and GRE's new PSR-500 all have user flash upgradeable DSP firmware.
