Rohde & Schwarz has announced that it will equip the Italian Coast Guard’s new patrol boat, the CP420 “NATALE DE GRAZIA”, with external communications systems. This new vessel, built by Intermarine, will expand the operating capabilities of the fleet and operate with Rohde & Schwarz SOVERON communications. The company’s M3SR Series4100 High Frequency (HF) radios enable authorities to patrol large coastal areas and will allow the ship’s crew to effectively exchange information with the shore, other vessels, as well as with joint forces and government authorities. The HF radios also provide a security architecture that allows secure voice communications, meaning third parties will not be able to intercept the information exchange.

However, inter-force networking for land formations has, until now, remained elusive. [US Army]](https://euro-sd.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/SINCGARS-US-Army-Kopie-218x150.jpg "Catch the wave")
