HRM-7000
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

HRM-7000 is a German military shortwave-transceiver of Elbit Systems, formerly Telefunken Racom. It is one of the Communication systems of the German Bundeswehr.[1]
The successor is the HRM-9000 system, also for global voice and data communication in deployments abroad. The Bundeswehr is evaluating the HRM-9000 system (2022), but several NATO forces already use HRM-9000 tactical shortwave transceiver.

The System is the successor of the "FS-5000M" Transceiver.[2] Telefunken developed HRM-7000 since 1994 and it is service at Bundeswehr since 1997.[3] The „HRM 7000 Manpack“ is specified for mobile use in combat situations. It is used in deployments abroad i.e. at KFOR. Because of its reliability and lightweight it is used by the Kommando Spezialkräfte and Quick Reaction Forces / European Union Battlegroups.
Bundeswehr is evaluating the succedor HRM-9000 system (2022), but several NATO forces already using HRM-9000 tactical shortwave transceiver.[4] According to military analysts, the Russian invasion of Ukraine showed the Electronic warfare capabilities of Russian forces. Because of that, the tactical shortwave communication as redundant and reliable system to satellit communication gained more interest again.
In February 2022 the Bundeswehr (BAAINBw) decided to buy more HRM 7X00 transceivers and the fitting Kryptomodul TCU 7000E for different platforms.[5]
