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.<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><!--[[User:Kvng/RTH]]-->
