CM-300/350 (V2) Series Software-Defined Radios

VHF/UHF Ground-to-Air Radios

Voice over IP (VoIP), compliant to EUROCAE ED-137 Overview

General Dynamics’ CM-300/350 (V2) radios are the latest additions to the
General Dynamics family of Ground-to-Air radios. Based on FAA NEXCOM
Front panel display and keypad
Segment 2 requirements, the radios provide reliable, clear and uninterrupted
communications to improve the safety of flight in the National Air Space (NAS).
Embedded co-site filter CM-300/350 (V2) software-defined radios are digital, Voice over Internet
Protocol (VoIP)-capable, and provide advanced, network-ready ground-to-
air communications. The rack-mounted transmitter and receiver systems are
Passively cooled; no fan required specifically designed to meet the dynamics mission requirements of air traffic
control centers, commercial airports, military air stations and range installations.

< 6 second boot time Multimode Functionality in one Software Defined Radio
The General Dynamics VHF and UHF Digital Radios deliver more modes and a
Multiple keying and squelch options broader frequency range in a rack mount, passively cooled chassis. Advanced
modes, legacy AM voice interoperability, and VoIP facilitate current and future
voice and data requirements.
