However, since so many SOF units have remained deployed to Afghanistan for such a variety of missions over such a large and diverse geographic area and have been doing so for so long, the support structure originally envisioned has had to be augmented. An organic sustainment reach-back capability was originally designed and provided for as a part of the Army SOF transformation several years ago. Special operations by their very nature place small teams in remote, austere locations without the logistics structure that normally supports conventional forces-often for protracted periods of time. This is especially true for the combined special operations task force (CSOTF) that operates in seven provinces of eastern Afghanistan and mentors Afghan National Security Forces.

Generating the optimal system power saving strategy based on users’ own applications to provide mission critical communications.Mission-critical logistics support is a never-ending battle for special operations forces (SOF) deployed to Afghanistan.

Understanding the associated performance trade-offs for each power saving option.

Understanding the power saving options offered by Analog Devices´ newest SDR transceiver.

Thoroughly understanding the trade-offs empowers engineers to design the best system power saving strategy to achieve both the optimal power consumption and a satisfactory system performance.

The article showcases the power saving for each option and explains the associated performance cost.

The new transceiver solution has been designed to provide scalable power and performance for many satellite, military, land mobile, utility infrastructure, and cellular mission critical communications. This article discusses multiple options of the power and performance trade-offs offered by Analog Devices’ newest generation software-defined radio (SDR) transceiver, the ADRV9001.
