  • In this video Adam is joined by Kyle from Persistent Systems to talk about the MPU5 Radio and the Wave Relay Network. We've gotten a lot of questions about "the radio with three antennas" and this video is a good introduction to what Persistent Systems has to offer.

      I ordered some baofang commie tracking devices that I’m psyched never showed up and I got a refund on. I ordered them before looking in to the options and functionality differences at all. Another cool piece of gear to grab is a “SLNT bag”, their dry bags are multi functional and can assist you in going completely dark in the event of a peer on peer conflict where they have the capability to track radio frequencies.

      MPU5 is designed to be more simple than ever. They have apps developed for the RDC that autodetect video input, ethernet adapters allow for control of camera gimbals and other robotics and most of it is just plug and play. The manet network autodetects and adds nodes. Any single one of these capabilities on other radios requires a lot of training - It's quite impressive.

    It'd be interesting to hear a bit more about how it performs in a contested RF environment when you have things like jamming or other EW assets at play. That seems to be the big difference between the MPU5 and the Silvus radios. MPU5 has a ton of features from layer 2 and up, but seems to lack in things like the waveform or even the ability to do proper TX beamforming which is pretty surprising.
    Although there was a job opening a while ago for an RF engineer with SDR experience, so maybe that's gonna change with the MPU6.

    My little group of guys use Motorola xts5000, which is plenty good enough for us. The MPU5 is cool, but $20k - $30k for a communication setup as a Citizen is a waste of money in my opinion. You could use that money for training, ammo, preps, and etc... Most Citizen's would not use most of the features on the MPU5, but for military use, it would be extremely beneficial. Coordinating with different units, assests, command, and etc, from one unit is fantastic, but as a Citizen's, it doesn't make sense in the cost to benefit category.

      Citizens don't need it, but the military does??? Just because citizens taxes pay for it? Any group of people could get great value from mobile comms like this... Just like a smart phone (which now cost $1000+ for some models) anyone could get value from this. Search and rescue, emergency response, event coordination, any use case where many people need to communicate over their own comms link... Especially in environments where the comms infrastructure does not exist or cannot be trusted. Yes, building comms networks cost $$$ but don't pretend civilians don't have a need for these as well. The only issue is funding... Get a group together to consolidate funds vs govt unlimited taxes and national debt to fund purchases.

    It's also vital to aknowledge that with data routing and meshing radios, you are transmitting pretty much all the time with the radios sending data and saying hello to each other. That's ideal for an adversory with modern EW equipment to map out your troop's location, composition and organization with your constant EM output. Utilizing EMCON should be common knowledge, if you have a radio, you should know when to not use it.

I was the Plt RTO for Net warrior 1 and Company RTO for Net warrior 2. I felt like playing a vidoe game, battle tracking was a breeze, command and control relayed beautifully. We used it greatly during training ops. It was cool to text Battalion or text the bird in the air. I would pack the old radio and my commander actually kept it old school and wanted to talk on the man packpack. It made me think of Nam and the on song playing. Iron6R

As trivial as it may seem, I'd love to see some of the pros and cons of using it versus other end user devices and the functionality that can be leveraged through various APKs for different use cases.

    Ran many ops with a 163, and it is excellent for small inter-teams Coms and even pushed long distance. But the capability really expands when you throw a 158 in the mix in a squad which pushes that TSM out much further, in effect joining multiple nets.

    This is something that should be set up at ALL times (even in Garrison), so that EVERYONE depending on these systems can not only become familiar with them, but maintain their proficiency with the capabilities. In the SOF world, they should be using these systems for EVERYTHING, from range operations to jump operations to exercises. Not only should the long-tabbers be running these systems at ALL times, but so should the support communications dets/companies. It's great that these systems are running ROIP, but in the end, the system needs a gateway (Joint Base Station?) to be able to extend out. The real "sticking point" will be when Big SOF communications (112th SIG, JCSE, etc.) fall in on top of another Organization (SFG, etc.) and work together. This needs to be constantly worked and exercised so everyone knows how it all works. What you DON'T want to happen, is OIF I, when SF Groups were all of the sudden given Platoons/Detachments of Communicators that they had NEVER worked with before and had NO idea how to employ them correctly.
    I retired in 2011, after 22 years as a communicator. 17 years on Jump Status and 15 of those years supporting Special Operations in SOCEUR Sig Det, QRC/JCSE and 7 years at 10th SFG.

Seems like a great way to vector a df station in on you based on your rf signature. And yes, ip anything is still just an rf wave with different modulation.

      Not necessarily. The benefit would come from replacing existing radios with mpu5’s and roiping one of your p25 platforms to the mpu5. That way everyone has access to the roip over the Manet plus the MIMO benefits of mpu5

    Radio over ip…hackable. Curious to know how resilient protection is with how versatile this device is. The Media having access to the device means they can hop on other devices and listen/ watch in/on after a quick hack or ip-hunting.
    Adversarial-5GW capabilities can easily take this down if the wave relay crashes (passes) over a specific location?
    Where is the warm and fuzzy on the security of the device? I’m seeing holes in this cheese. Getting in touch. Nice video!

    163s are definitely an upgrade to 152s due to the addition of TSM, cross banding, and the ability to connect your atak to the radio. It’s mainly only good for RTOs though because it’s too complex for an infantryman or even fires. Our Commexs aren’t usually “oh yeah your cables fucked” it’s more of “oh you had three different settings that were wrong.” TSM does work fine on them. Idk much about MPU5s but everyone claims they’re the next best thing since you can create a mission plan on just one of them then broadcast it to all the other radios so you don’t have to load every radio individually due to pretty much setting up a server that the other mpu5s can join

    Can someone explain the data loss when it uses hopping.

    Question:
    You have said that having some sort of JTAC on the ground is essential for operations with aircraft. Why is that? Why can't aircraft forego a guy on the ground, and what is that guy on the ground actually doing that sensors and electrooptics on the aircraft can't do?

    • @nathanfulmore8562
      @nathanfulmore8562 4 месяца назад +1

      JTAC is only there for CAS missions, where friendly forces are in close proximity to enemy forces and detailed integration from the ground to the air is required to safely conduct Close Air Support. As far as sensors, a JTAC is utilizing the sensors of the specific aircraft to the best of its ability in order to “talk the pilot on” to the enemy force. When friendlies aren’t in close proximity to friendly forces and detailed integration between the air and ground ISN’T required, that would be AI, or Air Interdiction

    So really late watching but I would wonder if the footprint of the MPU5 could have an alternative set of internals that increases is ability to bounce low frequency and enhance the simple data transmission and a local network scrambler so your devices and unmanned equipment could operate with mild assistance in signal strength, but make it an unrecognizable Picasso. Just a thought for folks who would like modern tech that has a small unit gone native in mind. I am not familiar really with possible home modifications or any serious use of these small high data units, but they seem like they're honestly only useful to a fully supported mechanized force. I do know that anything with an IP is more defensible, but only because you're opening yourself to a world of cyber and I live outside now Fort Eisenhower......Cyops cuddled up with the dissident surveillance service. Any minuteman kit recommendations would be appreciated. Feels like the Quatering act around here now that all the oath keepers walked away.
