Introduction

1.1 S P R O V E RV I E W The RF-7800S Secure Personal Radio (SPR) offers completely automatic and hands-free operation, is small and lightweight, and fits easily in a pocket. The Secure Personal Radio, hereafter referred to as the SPR radio, incorporates a built-in Standard Positioning Service (SPS) Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, allowing easy-to-use position tracking and messaging services. All transmissions are secured by standard Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) or optional Citadel® digital encryption. The SPR uses a seamless network-centric system of wideband communications. A narrowband capability supports communications with some Harris Falcon family of tactical radios. Refer to Paragraph A.4 A.4 for  for networking information. SPR Utility Software (SUS) provides the interactive capabilities necessary to configure the SPR for basic use and also acts as a host to positioning and messaging software. The software is compatible with Windows XP or Windows Mobile 6.0. The Communications Planning Application (CPA) for RF-7800S provides complete configuration and programming capabilities. The SPR operates in the 350-450 MHz Ultra High Frequency (UHF) band at up to 2 watts output power. Traditional narrowband communication and a sophisticated wideband waveform that provides secure, full-duplex voice conferencing, situational awareness, retransmission, range extension, six talk groups, and high-speed data are offered.  A short-range wireless transceiver transc eiver provides an interface to a variety of accessories such as Figur ure e 11-1 1. Push-to-Talk (PTT) devices. External OK, PTT1 and PTT2 are supported. See Fig

Document Overview

This documentation provides the information necessary to set up, configure, and operate the SPR using the SPR Utility software. It assumes that users have prior knowledge and experience using Microsoft Windows® Mobile and desktop operating systems. On the Personal Computer (PC), press F1 to access help. On the Personal Data Assistant (PDA), the SPR Help system can be accessed using the Start  Help menu selection. SPR Help provides guidance on all aspects of the software. 1.2

Q U I C K S TA R T

The SPR radio is connected via a Universal Serial Bus (USB) to a PC or PDA which acts as the host when using the device mode cable, 12055-0710-A006. The radio manages the collection of proprietary data from other SPR stations in its communication network and exposes this information to the PC or PDA. Additionally, the SPR Utility Software operates with Falcon II e 11-2 2. radios attached to the PC or PDA using serial cable 12011-0200-A006. See Figur Figure 1.2.1

Software Installation

The software is installed with a standard Windows installer. This installer is launched automatically (via the standard Windows auto-launch functionality) from a USB storage device (such as a thumb drive), or from a file system including removable media such as a Compact Flash storage device. Installation files can also be transferred from a host computer via Microsoft  ActiveSync. A success suc cess message gets posted when installation is complete. All com components ponents needed to allow the SPR Utility software to run are installed.

AA Battery Holder  

The AA battery holder is a non-rechargeable battery pack which accepts six standard commercially available AA size cells having a nominal terminal voltage in the range 0.8 volts to 1.8 volts. Typical non-rechargeable types are: zinc carbon, alkaline manganese, and lithium iron disulphide; A rechargeable nickel metal hydride may also be used. Alternative AA cells, having a terminal voltage of up to 3.6 volts per cell, will not damage the battery pack. The AA battery pack contains a simple fuel gauge. When the primary cells are at an end-of-life state, the center pin contact detects a low impedance and a low battery indication is given. Battery insertion polarity is clearly marked. When the cells are inserted incorrectly, then the positive terminal of the cell is unable to make contact when the pack hatch is closed.

Do not crush, disassemble, or dispose of in fire. Do not connect to charger units. Observe cell polarity when loading pack. Do not mix new and old cells. Do not mix cell types. When the battery pack will not be in use for an extended period, please remove the  AA cells to prevent unnecessary unnecess ary discharge. 2.2.4 .2.4..3

When configured, one to many radios in a TGW2 talk group can provide range extension. Range extension receives voice, SA, or data on designated slots then transmits on another slot. When configured with active range extension, radios can receive on one slot and retransmit on another non-adjacent reserved slot to other Voice/Data Range Extension radios out of range of the transmitting radio. This requires the Communication Planning Application (CPA) to configure. 4.9

BATTERY OPE RATION

RF-7800S-TR operates using a battery. Battery life using a new, fully charged battery is about eight hours when transmitting at two watts. Degraded operation may occur below -20 °C (-4 °F).

SUS Operation

MAIN MENU

The SPR Utility Software provides a display console for a SPR radio unit connected to either a PC or Personal Data Assistant (PDA). It allows the user to view Global Positioning System (GPS) and radio status information, and to perform some basic configuration of the radio device (e.g. downloading a pre-existing radio fill file). The SPR Utility Software also acts as a host to multiple independent modules. Hosted modules are detected at run-time to allow dynamic configuration of the software by users. See Figur Figure e 55-1 1. The Main Menu is displayed after the application is successfully launched. Its only purpose is to navigate to other screens. The layout consists of four quadrants with each quadrant representing a selection that the user can make. Clicking on any quadrant launches a local control or a hosted module. The SPR Utility Software returns to the Main Menu after a hosted module is closed. Disabled selections are displayed with gray shading and gray text.

SA Messages

The radio can receive SA messages from the Universal Serial Bus (USB) host, such as the PDA or PC, from a GPS receiver (in ternal (internal data orlatest data from host), from other radios thebased network, from Wireless Remote Control (WRC). The information for up to 50 Roleon IDs, on or their timestamps, is stored in the radio. The radio sends SA messages using a short messaging service to the USB host, other radios, or to the WRC port. If a position message has been received from the GPS within the last 120 seconds, a check is made for any alert flags set in the received data. If an alert is set and the position posit ion from the GPS is within the area of influence (circular area with radius in meters) or bounding rectangle specified in the message, then the appropriate audio alert message is played and sent to the host. Alerts are activated when the distress beacon is active. For external GPS SA data from a host, the SPR will immediately cease the broadcast of its own SA data. While in this state, the SPR will not broadcast any SA data until the SPR is power cycled. It will continue to process SA data from the USB Host and WRC. Position updates are transmitted based on one or more of these configuration settings: •

RF-6705 is an IP-based tactical messaging application for computers c omputers and PDAs that provides the ability to reliably exchange generic text messages and files among field and networked data terminals. Both point-to-point Automatic Repeat-reQuest (ARQ) and subnet-directed broadcast (non-ARQ) data transfer among the members of an IP sub-network are supported. By making use of the IP data capability of RF-7800S radios, data can easily be exchanged between wired (e.g. Ethernet) and wireless network users. The software runs on PCs and PDAs, and connects to the radio using the USB cable. No additional communications hardware is required.

This is intended as a Pass/Fail test, not a performance verification test. 7.5.3

Rx Test

This test uses the transmitter to inject an offset tone into the receiver to check basic functionality. This is done by configuring the transmitter to transmit and switching the front end switch to receive. The output power level is set to +24 dBm in order not to da damage mage the transceiver. Around -10 dBm of RF power enters the receiver. The test is repeated for a channel within each of the three sub-bands. This is intended as a Pass/Fail test, not a performance verification test. NOTE: Radio will transmit some RF power (approximately -10 dBm) during this test, and covert mode is ignored. 7.5.4

Power Supply Test

The power supply test checks that all power supplies are within specified limits. For a failed response, the output response breaks down the areas of failure. For example, headset 5 V auxiliary is not configured, or headset 3 V passes, or Universal Serial Bus (USB) fails. 7.5.5

GPS Test

This is not a full exercise of the GPS module, since coverage cannot be guaranteed at the time of a self test. This test purely tests communication with the GPS module. If communication cannot be established, then the test is considered to be a fail. 7.5.6

Wireless Control Port Test

This is not a full exercise of the Wireless Control Port module, since this requires interaction with a wireless Push-to-Talk (PTT). Only communication with the Wireless Control Port module is tested. If communications cannot be established then the test is considered to be a fail. The module may have to be turned on for this test since it is possible to configure the module to be off. 7.5.7

Fill Planning

GENERAL

This section provides some background information when planning fills for the Secure Personal Radio. This information is useful to communication network planners and developers of management systems for the SPR. The SPR Utility software offers basic configuration tools. Use the Communications Planning Application (CPA) for RF-7800S for a full featured configuration tool. A .2 .2

R A D IO IO F IL IL L C O M PO PO N E N TS TS

SPR configuration data is stored in various files. Some consistency is required between files. For example, the nets in the fill file reference encryption keys which must be present in the key file. A.2.1

System File

The system file contains factory-assigned settings such as the serial number of the radio, Machine Address Code (MAC) address identity, and calibration data. It is a digitally signed file which is unique to a specific radio and does not contain any user-configurable items. This file is not cleared when the radio is zeroized. A.2.2

Role File

This Role file contains the Callsign information for the local station, and its StationType. It is unique to each radio. It may contain alternate Callsign information to simplify changing callsigns or StationTypes quickly. This file is not cleared when the radio is zeroized. A.2.3

Key File

The Key File contains all the encryption keys available to the radio. Keys are associated to nets using the key tag. The key file f ile is common to all radios in an organization. This file is cleared when the radio is zeroized. It cannot be uploaded from the radio. The file information is available through the radio's status interface. Use this file description information to uniquely identify the file (for instance by its intended validity period). This will help confirm that the correct key fill is loaded. A.2.4

Mission Fill File

The mission fill file contains the network structures, frequencies, radio behavior settings, and so forth. This file is organized into a group of net definitions, followed by one or more StationType sections which further define how each station type is to behave.

M AN AG I N G K E YS

Refer to the following for supported encryption modes and key generation tools. A.3.1

Encryption Modes

The SPR supports these encryption modes: 128-bit Harris Citadel, 256-bit Harris Citadel, and 128-bit, 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS-197). Only one key may be active in the radio at a time, though each net (knob position) may use a different key and even a different encryption type.  A non-secure net has a default defau lt encryption key assigned tto o it. Normal operation includes def default ault fill indicator beeps in the earpiece when transmitting voice.  A net will be disabled if an encryption key is assigned ass igned to it and the key is not loaded into the radio. Switching to a knob position with a disabled net gives a "channel disabled" audio indication. A.3.2

Citadel Cu Customized Al Algorithms

Optional Customer-Unique Citadel algorithms may be supplied. These are factory loaded prior to shipment. The same Citadel algorithm must be loaded in all radios that are intended to work in the Citadel Mode. The AES-256 mode may be used as an interoperability mode. For instance, a customer may use a unique Citadel algorithm for national communication, but load coalition AESbased nets to allow interoperability with partners. A.3.3

Citadel Al Algorithm Mo Modification

The optional Citadel Algorithm Modification (CAM) operation allows an algorithm modification to be loaded by the customer. CAM vectors are created using the RF-6550K Key Generation  Application (KGA), and may be loaded into a radio using the CPA CPA for RF-7800S. Radios which do not share the same CAM vector will not interoperate in Citadel encrypted nets. A.3.4

RF-7800S SECURE PERSONAL RADIO FILL PLANNING

NETWORK PLANNING

The SPR supports three basic communication modes and traffic types. A.4.1

Communication Mo Modes

The SPR supports three basic communication modes, one of which may be used for each net loaded into the radio. A mix of net modes may be loaded into the radio. Each knob position is programmed with the appropriate setting. The modes are: •

Narrowband Mode: Mode: a 25 kHz, digital Frequency Shift Keying (FSK)-based mode. This mode supports voice traffic only, has the longest range of the three modes, and interoperates with narrowband equipment such as the RF-5800M-HH and AN/PRC-152 when properly configured.

•

Wideband 500 kHz mode: mode: Uses a 500 kHz wide channel with a robust high speed digital modulation. In this Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying (GMSK)-based mode, the radio uses a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA)-based slotting mechanism to support multiple simultaneous transmissions on the same network. This waveform is referred to as TDMA GMSK Wideband Waveform (TGW2).

•

Wideband 1200 kHz mode: mode: A 1.2 MHz wide channel using a similar TDMA slotting scheme. The highest speed data is available on this TGW2 net type, and it has the shortest range of the three modes.

A.4.2

Traffic Types

The radio supports three types of traffic over its network: •

Voice oice Tra rafffi fic, c, in ta talk lkgr grou oup ps.

•

Packet Packet Data Data Traf Traffic, fic, a very very effi efficie cient nt unackn unacknowl owledg edged ed packet packet data data serv service ice which which is is used for automatic GPS position reporting but also may be used by external applications via the Universal Serial Bus (USB)-Serial interface. Data packets in this mode are sized to be no larger than a single TDMA slot.

•

Network Network Data Data Traf Traffic: fic: desi designe gned d for effi efficie cient nt transf transfer er of netwo network rk type type data data such such as files, files, streamed video-over-Internet Protocol (IP), or messages. This mode is accessed using the USB-Remote Network Driver Interface Specification (RNDIS) port, which appears to a connected Personal Computer (PC) terminal as a network card. The radio supports unacknowledged and acknowledged, built-in Automatic Repeat-reQuest (ARQ) traffic. IP Unicast, Broadcast, and multicast are supported.

Slots may be assigned to only one traffic type, or more than one data type. For instance, three slots may be assigned to voice, and three slots dedicated to data. This ensures that voice traffic will not disrupt or delay the data traffic. Or, data traffic may share voice slots, using the slots sl ots when they are not occupied by voice traffic. When multiple traffic types are assigned to a slot, traffic priority is determined as follows: Voice Traffic, then Network Data Traffic, and then Packet Data Traffic. A.4.3

Slot As Assignment Gu Guidelines

The slot map defines how services are allocated on the network. A 25 kHz channel does not have a slot map as it is a single logical channel.

Slots are assigned using the CPA for RF-7800S. The sample fill has some default assignments. Some characteristics of slot assignments are as follows: •

Each Each slot may may be assig assigned ned tto o Talk Talk G Grou roup p 1 through through Talk Group Group 6, 6, Data, Data, reser reserved, ved, or or to unused. Slots are not required to be contiguous (could be 12D12D). For voice groups there is no performance difference. However for Data slots, if the slots are adjacent the throughput of the net will increasefor since larger-size bursts can be used. For example (1212DD) will operate identically voice, but will have higher data throughput than the first setup where the data slots are not adjacent.

•

The grou group p on which which pa packet cket data data is sent sent is set on on a Stat Station ion Type Type basi basis. s. There There are are two two packet types: the group on which Auto reports are sent (generated by movement, interval GPS reporting, or externally generated packet data), and the group on which Global Positioning System (GPS) reports embedded in voice traffic are sent.
