AT Tactical Intercom System
Category: Defence Industry
AT Communication, has recently updated its Tactical Intercom System. The Tactical Intercom System is a highly configurable and modular intercom system suited to a range of wired and wireless intercom applications. Examples of both Military and Civilian applications include Military Vehicles, Emergency Services, Patrol Boats and Dismounted Squads. In Vehicular applications, the AT Tactical Intercom System compact design allows intercom users to have access to up to four tactical radios as well as other crew members. Crew can be in the vehicle or dismounted via the Wireless intercom option. The system's robust hardware design and system architecture is suitable for military Command, Fighting and Support vehicles, tracked or wheeled, armoured or soft skinned. In Military applications, the AT Tactical Intercom System is a ready replacement for aging systems. It is scalable to meet varying demands and provides crisp, clear, full duplex audio amongst crew members. It has a range of radio interface options from basic PTT to full remote control of the radios. User are provided with the exact functionality required and not burdened with sophisticated commands and controls found on competitive systems. In Civilian and Emergency service applications, the system modules are compact, robust, and easy to use and designed to be operated with minimal training. The systems are based on modular architecture and can be configured in many ways to suit the requirement and consequently cover a wide range of intercom applications which can be augmented with specialist modules to add functionality if needed;
The medium and enhanced systems are projected for the wide range of platform options and these will include the personnel carriers, command structures and main site requirements. The ability to configure the system to exactly what is required, enhances the man machine interface and operational efficiency whilst maintaining costs. Both systems can be augmented with data via Ethernet routed to those positions that require it. One of the key improvements of the Tactical Intercom System is the ability for the individual modules to be maintained at workshop level. This makes the AT Tactical Intercom system a very economical solution considering total cost of ownership. For Squad Applications Wireless Personal Communicators (WPC) and a Wireless Base Unit (BU)can be configured to give a wireless only variant which can be expanded to interconnect to vehicular systems for future expansion. Squad members wear a wireless belt unit which interfaces with commonly available audio headsets to provide hands-free full duplex intercom operation or with remote PTT option depending on the application. A vibration mode can be enabled for covert operations to alert to incoming calls. The Wireless system through the Base Unit can provide connectivity to Portable Tactical HF, VHF and UHF transceivers. This capability requires an upgrade to the WPC as it is not a standard feature. For further information or to discuss your application, please do not hesitate to contact us. System Benefits at a glance:
Scalable – all versions Entry, Medium and Enhanced are derived from the same set of core modules
Versatile – can be adapted to the Users’ requirements
Flexible – can be installed in a wide range of vehicular and static locations
Cost effective in procurement – Users adjust the system to suit and only pay for what they require so there is no inefficient functionality
Cost effective in installation – the small volumetric size of the system allows for installation in confined spaces
Installation – easy to design installation and cost of installation aspects minimised in platforms
Cost of Ownership – simple local workshop repair by technicians
Future Proof Technology – boards will only require either component or software upgrades
Ease of Use – simple to use, all controls are for essential functionality so no expensive training courses required
Maintenance – no maintenance training required, User manual explicit for both first line and workshop level, spare boards held at workshop
Expandable – options can be added to any of the systems, up to 15 IUUs can be placed on one “Daisy Chain” and up to 10 RAUs on one “Daisy Chain”.
Architecture options – Standard “Daisy Chain” or “Ring” connectivity |
