2040 Features

>> Frequency hopping The unique, easy to use frequency hopping system requires no central synchronisation station, has no entry or late entry time and requires no handshaking. Hopping at 5 channels per second, using a 10 digit hopping encryption key, and with a user selectable hopping bandwidth to suit the antenna type in use, the system provides excellent protection against EW attacks.

>> Automatic Link Establishment (ALE) An embedded internal option fully interoperable with FED-STD 1045 ALE systems. Also capable of full 16 digit telephone dialling (using FED-STD 1045 ALE as the signalling medium) with Barrett 2060 ALE equipped telephone interconnects.

>> Voice encryption Internal fit optional DES or AES voice encryption modules are available. The 2040's audio connectors provide interfaces for various external OEM voice crypto devices.

>> Secure CallSecure Call is an innovative, narrow band voice encrypter that is very simple to use, has no handshaking or sync delays, and provides operators secure point to point, or point to multipoint communications.

>> Extended operation time The very low current consumption of the 2040 manpack enables it to operate for over 20 hours on one battery cartridge. Spare quick change battery cartridges are small, lightweight and easily fit in the carry system side pockets. Dry cell emergency packs are available to extend mission time, negating the need to carry charging equipment.

>> Rugged and lightweight designUsing the latest polycarbonate plastic alloys combined with lightweight strong aluminium alloy extrusions, the 2040 weighs only 6.4 kg including its 10 Ah, quick change, Lithium Ion battery cartridge. The 2040's small physical size makes it comfortable to operate and wear when deployed in either of its backpack options.

>> Outstanding voice quality The standard DSP noise reduction system reduces external channel noise, the effects of interference, and enhances audio signals to provide easier listening. The level of noise reduction can be easily selected to suit prevailing conditions.

>> Selective calling systems The 2040 manpack provides international standard 4 and 6 digit selective call facilities that include Telcall, SMS, GPS position and remote transceiver operational status monitoring, point to point Secure Call and remote transceiver disable capabilities.

>> GPS tracking, command and control Fitted with the optional GPS module, the 2040 manpack is able to be automatically tracked with the Barrett 977 base tracking system. Individual operators can be located, maintained within certain areas or corridors, be alerted if straying into no-go areas and have facilities to alarm controllers if they are in danger. Tracking signals are digital and encrypted for security.

>> SMS messaging system64 character SMS messages, encrypted for security, are directly entered via the 2040 front panel keys and can be sent to individual or multiple stations.

>> Data capability FDT's Using the 2040's flexible auxiliary connector, Barrett 2020 email, fax and data systems and many OEM FDT's (Field Data Terminals) are supported.

>> Automatic antenna tuner Whips and untuned wire antennas are simply deployed using the inbuilt, fully automatic antenna tuner. For overnight or temporary fixed operations various lightweight broadband and tunable tactical antennas are available.

>> User-friendly operation Barrett's well known intuitive operator interface ensures that using the 2040 manpack is very simple.

Principal key functions are performed using a large six key cluster while the operator is guided by a large 128 x 64 LCD graphics display with adjustable backlighting, allowing maintenance of night vision or high levels of luminescence in poor visibility. Network stations’ addresses and telephone numbers are stored in easily accessed address and phone books and as little as two key strokes will initiate a call.
