Battlefield Awareness and Targeting System (BATS) Vehicular Amplifier (BVA)

Battlefield Awareness and Targeting System (BATS) Vehicular Amplifier (BVA)

Designed to pair with Link 16 Cryptographic Products, such as the BATS-D AN/PRC-161 Handheld Link 16 Radio, the BVA delivers:

  • Greater range, 200+ nautical miles
  • Increased situational awareness
  • Flexibility for fixed and mobile applications
  • Easy integration

Provide Seamless Connectivity for Dismounted Forces

With BVA installed in manned or unmanned platforms, warfighters with a dismounted Link 16 Cryptographic Product can connect to the BVA in a vehicle, to enable higher transmit power and longer range. In addition, warfighters can maintain Link 16 functionality from the Link 16 Cryptographic Product when the BVA is removed from the vehicle.

Operate at the tactical edge

The rugged design and the low size, weight and power of the BVA makes it a perfect addition to small platforms supporting the dismounted warfighter’s operation. The BATS-D can be easily separated from the BVA, while still maintaining a Link 16 connection – creating a “grab & go” capability for warfighters.
 
If the vehicle or the BVA gets left behind, warfighters don’t need to worry about a compromised asset. BVA does not require any keying; therefore, it is not a COMSEC Controlled Item (CCI) that requires special storage.
