Viewpoint: HSR, PRP and TSN – at the cutting edge of embedded military comms
Andy Conway, sales manager at military embedded system specialist Recab UK, looks at the critical technologies at the edge of the battlefield and beyond, such as the Ethernet-based HSR, PRP and TSN protocols.
Technology becomes more important to military and defence operations with each passing year. We need only look to the UK Government’s recent Defence Command paper and budget review to reaffirm this, with the country’s priority seemingly being to bolster technological capacity on the battlefield. However, military technology is about more than just swarms of drones or new Boxer armoured vehicles; it’s about the fast and effective relaying of information on the frontline.
