RIDUX:

One of the main components is RIDUX, a tactical middleware powerhouse divided into the Node and Client components, both equipped with our robust, optional security solution STCS.

RIDUX serves as a multitool that breaks down manufacturing silos, integrates existing systems and enables future technologies in the process. It provides a highly secure, dynamic and self-organizing infrastructure for future-proof, critical and secure communication and data exchange at the tactical edge. The XONITOR software is the monitoring and management tool, RIDUX is the middleware that aggregates different transport networks into a common communication network.

The SW embodies a truly open ecosystem, designed to be fully accessible to developers, vendors, and users alike. Emphasizing openness and inclusivity, there are no restrictions or barriers on access, participation, or the development of applications or services. This approach fosters a culture of innovation and creativity by providing a level playing field for all stakeholders.

A key strength of RIDUX lies in its emphasis on interoperability. By enabling seamless integration and collaboration between different blueprints and systems, it promotes efficient communication and synergy among various technologies. This interoperability ensures that users can benefit from a diverse range of applications and services, leading to enhanced user experiences.

RIDUX represents the next generation of digital networking in the field. The aim of its development was to significantly optimize the communication capabilities of forces on the battlefield. Often, situational information is not available simultaneously and independently to all forces, which can lead to delays in decision-making, inaccurate situational assessments and misunderstandings in command execution. A reliable and efficient data and communications infrastructure is therefore critical to mission success. RIDUX addresses these challenges with an interoperable, secure and mobile communication platform. This platform promotes rapid deployment, ensures seamless collaboration and increases mission efficiency through advanced security mechanisms and flexible tactical routing. Its user-friendly interface and adaptability enable both end-user, IT technician and management operation.

Benefits:

  • Mobility

    In the fast-paced chaos of battlefield missions, TACTICAL CORE’s innovative MeshFlow technology enables seamless, self-organizing networks. Soldiers can move freely between service areas without disrupting connectivity, thanks to its dynamic, self-healing design. Each node automatically identifies neighboring nodes, creating a unified communication platform for shared information exchange.

  • Reliability

    A modern, secure tactical network ensures reliability at every node. Each TACTICAL CORE Node offers a full suite of services like PTT and location tracking autonomously or collaboratively. With a decentralized structure, there are no single points of failure; nodes serve as backups for one another. An advanced routing algorithm optimizes bandwidth usage, seamlessly adapting to compromised media by switching to alternative waveforms.

  • Security

    Securing access to the tactical network is challenging due to dynamic environments, diverse domains, and various security solutions. The embedded group key exchange at the edge eliminates central authentication needs. Each node requires a custom secure crypto element for classified access. TACTICAL CORE supports multiple security domains for unified classified and unclassified communications.

  • Interoperability

    Armed forces’ communication gear spans from traditional VHF/UHF to modern broadband, often lacking interoperability due to proprietary solutions. TACTICAL CORE unifies digital radios via IP interfaces ensuring transparency down to the soldier level. It integrates seamlessly with all radio tech and vendors, remaining hardware-agnostic. Additionally RIDUX provides an embedded 5G SA Core, specifically designed to the operated at the tactical edge

  • Availability

    Tactical edge networks often encounter challenges like limited radio coverage, connectivity loss, and enemy jamming. RIDUX addresses these by using multiple technologies simultaneously, automatically switching as needed. Each node acts redundantly, forming a resilient mesh network without a central point of failure, providing essential services autonomously even in isolated environments.

  • Usability

    Integrating new information, devices, and technologies in a network increases complexity, especially during critical missions. RIDUX simplifies management with a unified interface, allowing easy control of diverse nodes. Designed for non-professionals, our products are quick to set up and deploy.

  • ​XONITOR

    RIDUX is complemented by XONITOR, our network monitoring and management solution to manage and monitor different network components regardless of manufacturer. XONITOR provides central administration independent from the physical location. The holistic network view can be accessed by fixed, central consoles or remotely with smartphones or tablets using standard internet browsers. To date we have integrated over 500 different manufacturers.

    All assets /devices can be monitored and managed in a physical network as well as in the cloud/hybrid cloud. A heterogeneous system landscape becomes one holistic network view and adapts to your existing infrastructure.

    Benefits:

    • Scalable
      Monitoring and administration on all levels, manufacturers, assets and components.
    • Decentralized

    Operation capability at the network edge without the need to connect to a centralized NOC.

    • Plug & Play
      New items are quickly and easily inserted and are available for immediate monitoring.
    • Customized
      XONITOR allows a flexible customization to match clients' needs.
    • Easy to use
      Intuitive and unified interface structure enabling simplified administration.
