In the field of tropospheric communications, Russia's lag behind the world's leading countries was at an insignificant level, but over the past few years, the US Department of Defense has carried out work to modernize AN-TRC 170 tropospheric stations, which have been in operation since the 1980s, by creating new modems using modern signal-code designs that allow increasing the capacity of tropospheric radio links from 2 Mbit/s to 20 Mbit/s, while maintaining the range of the communication interval. In turn, at present, there are no serially produced high-speed tropospheric stations for civil purposes on the market of tropospheric stations. At the same time, the main advantage of the developed stations in relation to foreign and domestic competitors is the status of telecommunications equipment of Russian origin. The main consumers of the developed station will be: various private communications operators, law enforcement agencies and government agencies.

Development of a tropospheric communication station for civil purposes and launch of these stations into serial production.

The article describes the world and Russian markets of the digital small-sized transportable communication station «Groza-1.5». Consumers of the selected market segments are indicated. The advantages of using tropospheric communication are noted. A comparative analysis with existing domestic and foreign analogues of this station is carried out and its superiority is clearly demonstrated. The manufacturing technology of this station is described and a conclusion is given on improving the proposed production process. The technological parameters that affect the cost and consumer characteristics of the above products are determined, and the technological risks present at each stage of the life cycle are declared. Prospects for the development of production and market development trends in this direction are proposed.

Production of high-tech radio-electronic products for civilian purposes, capable of not only competing on equal terms with leading world analogues with their main characteristics, but also surpassing them in the future. The market in the government, commercial and civil sectors has a very high growth potential due to digitalization and the introduction of new multimedia technologies such as telemedicine and electronic access to government services. This trend determines the use of modern tropospheric communication equipment, which will satisfy the demand for telecommunications services in remote, hard-to-reach areas for all consumer groups. Currently, the enterprises of JSC «NPP «Radiosviaz» are carrying out work to modernize the fleet of tropospheric communication stations to switch to a modern element base, including domestic ones, in order to reduce the cost, weight and size indicators of stations, introduce new operating modes, increase the communication range, apply modern principles of signal processing and increase the speed of information transfer.
