FPGAs play a crucial role in modern military communications, especially in systems like the [[Joint Tactical Radio System]] (JTRS) and in devices from companies such as [[Thales Group|Thales]] and [[Harris Corporation]]. Their flexibility and programmability make them ideal for military communications, offering customizable and secure signal processing. In the JTRS, used by the US military, FPGAs provide adaptability and real-time processing, crucial for meeting various communication standards and encryption methods. Thales leverages FPGA technology in designing communication devices that fulfill the rigorous demands of military use, including rapid reconfiguration and robust security. Similarly, Harris Corporation, now part of [[L3Harris|L3Harris Technologies]], incorporates FPGAs in its defense and commercial communication solutions, enhancing signal processing and system security.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2004-12-01 |title=Software-defined radio and JTRS |url=https://www.militaryaerospace.com/computers/article/16710419/softwaredefined-radio-and-jtrs |access-date=2024-01-17 |website=Military Aerospace}}</ref>
