L3Harris Unveils RASOR: Revolutionary Satellite Radio System for Military and Commercial Use
L3Harris Technologies has unveiled RASOR, a groundbreaking satellite-based radio system designed to integrate multiple commercial and military satellite internet providers into a single, modular terminal. This innovative technology, currently in use with select military customers, has successfully completed flight tests earlier this year.
RASOR's modular design allows it to scale and support a mix of commercial broadband services like Starlink and Kuiper, as well as government tactical data links. The system was developed under the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory's DEUCSI program, initiated in 2019, and is now pending U.S. Air Force procurement decisions for mass production.
L3Harris is also partnering with Amazon's Project Kuiper to integrate their future broadband constellation into RASOR. Currently, the U.S. military, including the Air Force and Navy, use RASOR technology in various aircraft operations. Smaller versions of RASOR are planned for Army ground vehicles, further expanding its potential applications.
RASOR's successful flight tests and partnerships with commercial entities like Amazon's Project Kuiper demonstrate its potential to revolutionize secure satellite internet access for military operations. Pending U.S. Air Force procurement decisions, RASOR could soon become a staple in military aircraft and ground vehicles, offering a scalable and secure solution for diverse communication needs.
