Mission Adaptable Radio System

The Thales LOCODA platform provides a modular vehicle communications capability designed to simplify integration and support evolving mission requirements. By enabling reuse of existing vehicle infrastructure and supporting embedded radios, external mission modules, and third-party transport solutions, the system delivers flexible, multi-transport voice and data connectivity within a scalable, future-ready architecture. Thales LOCODA platform (or Thales MARS) provides secure (SBUe) voice and data utilizing the widely fielded Tactical Scalable Manet (TSM)™ waveform. The system supports integration of wideband and narrowband radio waveforms and provides standardized vehicle and radio interfaces for power, GPS, audio, and data connectivity. Its modular design enables simultaneous support of additional radios, amplifiers, or mission modules to extend communication range and expand transport options. Thales LOCODA platform (or Thales MARS) is developed using a commercial-off-the-shelf and non-developmental-item approach to support continuous capability growth.
