SELEX Elsag sells further SSR Plus radio systems

Basildon, 15 February 2012 – SELEX Elsag, a Finmeccanica company, has supplied its operationally proven Soldier System Radio Plus (SSR Plus) to two new customers for operations in environments varying from tropical rainforest to mountain warfare.

The SSR Plus provides a more advanced communications service than the successful PRR, whilst maintaining its simplicity and ease of use in a man-wearable package. With greater range and features – such as dual net capability and data communications capability – the SSR Plus is a valuable asset to enhance section and platoon level communications.

The SSR Plus addresses the need for fighting troops to be spread over greater range than that offered by the PRR, and gives the soldier more flexibility and security. Dual net capability enables commanders to command and control at platoon level on one radio net whilst enabling section commanders to focus on section level on the section radio net.

Lightweight, easy to use and straightforward to maintain, the man-worn SSR Plus enables the fighting soldier to move over greater distance at an increased tempo and provides commanders at all levels with the flexibility to adapt to battle situations.
