Communications

R-176 Radio System The R-176 Antey family is the next generation of the Russian Ground Forces’ long range, over-the-horizon radios for operational and strategic level control. Among other technological innovations, the R-176 Antey family, is reportedly a Software Defined Radio (SDR), meaning a radio that is primarily manipulated through software instead of hardware such as mixers, filters, modulators/demodulators, etc. These types of radios are capable of receiving and transmitting different waveforms based solely on the software used, instead of requiring physical modifications of hardware.
