E-LynX is a product family of digital military radio equipment (software defined radios, SDR) from Telefunken Radio Communication Systems GmbH & Co. KG, the German subsidiary of the Israeli Elbit Group. [1] The system is used by several forces like the Nederlandse krijgsmacht, the Swiss Army, the Indian Forces and other. Up from 2019, the Army of German Bundeswehr equipped its forces with E-LynX PNR 1000 in a portable and vehicle version. [2]
The radio enables voice and data communication for a variety of application scenarios and units. The devices enable data, voice and video transmission at the same time. The system enables real-time positioning of one's own forces based on the integrated “Blue Force Tracking” capability. A multi-hop process is intended to significantly increase the range and to improve network agility and robustness and also reducing of latency. [3]
The E-LynX devices are used by the Bundeswehr at troop, group, platoon and company level, as well as on board various combat vehicles such as the SPz PUMA.
AN/PRC 77 Radio Set is a manpack, portable VHF FM combat-net radio transceiver manufactured by Associated Industries and used to provide short-range, two-way radiotelephone voice communication.

The MILAN can be equipped with a MIRA or MILIS thermal sight to give it night-firing ability.
The Marder is a German infantry fighting vehicle operated by the German Army as the main weapon of the Panzergrenadiere from the 1970s through to the present day. Developed as part of the rebuilding of Germany's armoured fighting vehicle industry, the Marder has proven to be a successful and solid infantry fighting vehicle design. While it used to include a few unique features, such as a fully remote machine gun on the rear deck and gun ports on the sides for infantry to fire through, these features have been deleted or streamlined in later upgrade packages to bring it more in line with modern IFV design. It is overall a simple and conventional machine with one large rear exit hatch and three top hatches for mounted infantry to fire from. The Marder is currently being replaced by its successor, the Puma.

Air-to-ground communication was first made possible by the development of two-way aerial telegraphy in 1912, soon followed by two-way radio. By the Second World War, radar had become the chief medium of air-to-ground and air-to-air communication. Since then, transponders have enabled pilots and controllers to identify planes automatically, greatly improving air security. Most recently, in addition to sophisticated radio and GPS systems, the unmanned aerial vehicle, or drone, has revolutionised aerial surveillance and combat.
