Charlie - SB-C22
MUOS / HF TAK Server

Turns your point-to-point MUOS or HF connection into a situational awareness power house, allowing for a vast number of radio users to share TAK data.  MUOS replaces legacy UHFSATCOM and offers significantly higher bandwidth in an encrypted cell-like infrastructure.  The PRC-160 HF radio with 3G ALE will also support ShadowBox TAK data transfer protocol.  With the ShadowBox Charlie your MUOS or HF connection becomes a point-to-net capability by expanding communications to large user groups for sharing of voice and data through TAK, including cursor on target, position location information, chat, and images.  The Shadowbox Charlie provides Type 1 encrypted TAK C2 within closed tactical radio networks for your critical communications needs.

Another key advantage is the ability to 'host' information on the Charlie TAK Server to enable disadvantaged and dislocated users that may be in contested and communication degraded environments can connect to the net when safe and when able to quickly download updates from the server or upload new information to server that others can retrieve when they are able.  This prevents the need for a persistent connection and constant RF energy radiation from the field, which is a critical advantage against peer adversaries.

Take MUOS and HF to the next level—turns a single MUOS or HF link into a powerful TAK network, connecting users across the globe through a common user interface.
