RCMP replaces existing ARC-210 RT-1797 and ARC-210 RT-1851A with ARC-210 RT-2036 Gen 6 radios. Additionally, a new half-size Remote Control Unit (RCU) is integrated in place of the legacy RCU to support the new Generation (GEN) 6 radios. These new radios include Second Generation Anti-Jam Tactical Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Radio for North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) (SATURN) Tactical Secure Voice (TSV) encryption, and Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) capabilities. SATURN mitigates jamming and provides interoperability with NATO partners. TSV is new encryption used in Line-of-Sight (LOS) and Beyond Line-of-Sight (BLOS) communications. TSV meets National Security Agency (NSA) encryption mandates, the radio encryption engines are software updateable to support planned future TSV releases. A new MUOS capable High-Power Amplifier (HPA) and a new Low Noise Amplifier/Triplexer (LNA/T) will be installed for the ARC-210-GEN 6 radio for continued BLOS communication.
