What type of communication does the EHF system support?

The EHF (Extremely High Frequency) system is designed to support both voice and data communication. This capability is crucial for military operations, as it allows for secure, reliable communications across various platforms, including ships, aircraft, and ground units.

The system provides a wide bandwidth that supports traditional voice calls, enabling clear and reliable communication, and also accommodates data transfer, which is essential for modern warfare that relies on real-time information sharing and digital communications. This dual capability ensures that users can send and receive critical operational data while maintaining voice communications, which is important for both command and control functions as well as tactical coordination.

The functionality of the EHF system in supporting both types of communication makes it a vital component of the Navy's overall communication infrastructure.
