BAE Systems’ MARS Enters Service on U.S. Army Rotary-Wing Aircraft

BAE Systems’ AN/ARC-231A Multi-mode Aviation Radio Set (MARS) has completed initial installation and is operationally ready for use on select U.S. Army rotary-wing aircraft.

This fielding marks a step forward in equipping warfighters with an advanced, secure, and fast-operating communications solution to inform key decisions in the field. 
 
The AN/ARC-231A MARS system is the newest generation of multi-band, multi-mission, airborne communications systems with Type 1 crypto modernisation.
 
BAE Systems designed the system to enable the U.S. Army to secure waveform upgrades across its rotary-wing fleet or tailor to specific mission needs. The AN/ARC-231A MARS system consists of the RT-1987 radio, along with associated ancillaries, including amplifiers and mounting bases.
