Part 1 - SINCGARS Situational Awareness/Position Reporting Mapping Project

Hi everyone. It has been a long time since I posted a video on some cool military radio equipment. In this video I show a new setup that I'll be working on to get the GPS and SA functions working on my sincgars RT-1702 radio to interoperate with two ITT Spearhead radios! The idea is to get a map of my locale to display on the ECDU remote and show the locations of the other radios on the map.
This is Part 1 of a four-part series. If you missed the previous episodes, you can find them all here:
• Sincgars Situational A...
Video shows the following devices:
ITT RT-1702E Sincgars ASIP radio like RT-1523E
ITT ECDU Graphical handheld remote (Enhanced Control Display Unit)
ITT Spearhead handheld radios

I enjoyed the WW-II stuff too
The ART-13 is a beautiful thing, I am fascinated by the B-29s mechanical computer for fire direction control.

Sounds like we have a lot of interests in common

Exelis actually came about when ITT split up into separate companies and the military division was given the name Exelis. Makes it easier to sell off a chunk, which is what they did.
