Deployable communication and information system(DCIS) provides a modular and flexible communication infrastructure for rapidly deployed expeditionary operations.

The infrastructure will be able to grow from an initial ad hoc installation with a two hour setup time to a full blown DCIS HQ solution utilizing a wide range of modules and shelters, such as:

Command and control
C2IS on operational and tactical level
Tactical Radio Capabilities
Telephony
Cross technology VoIP dispatcher for Radio and Telephony incl. Red/Black separation
Satcom
Internet Access

Access to civilian international TV/Radio news networks
Air Traffic Management
Mobile Tower and Approach shelter
Air Traffic Control system
Meteorology system
Approach and Landing Radar
Landing Lights
Intelligence cell

Sensor Information Analysis Systems
Air Combat Management
C2 systems
Mission support systems
Tactical Data Links
Secure Voice
Long Range Search and Surveillance Radar

Features

FOB Setup

The basic DCIS setup will enable you to setup working communications within 2 hours of initial landing.

Allowing your forces a basic infrastructure necessary to facilitate their operations during first deployment and reconnaissance missions.

The setup is easy to grow into larger setups as soon as required.

Radio Modules

Main Node Module

C2 Module

Communication Module

Generator Module

Equipment cases and storage units

Radio Modules

Includes the different radio equipment needed to facilitate operations. Covering all radio frequencies and bands – both voice and data.

Main Node Module

The core module which houses the main C2IS services, telephony services and TactiCall services.

C2 Module

The Portable C2 Module is the interconnection point where the end user equipment is connected.

Communication Module

The Portable Communications Module provides WAN services to the FOB.

Generator Module

The Generator Module is mainly designed to give power to the Portable modules. It can be interconnected to provide redundancy.

Equipment cases and storage units

Provides storage space and spare parts for the network setup and integration, maintenance, etc.

HQ Setup

Within 24 hours of initial landing you will be able to grow your basic setup into a more permanent HQ solution or a main base of operations.

In addition to the FOB elements this setup also includes:

External Interface Module

Deployable C2 Tent

Deployable Maintenance Shelter

Deployable Main Node Shelter

Deployable C2 Shelter

Deployable HVAC Shelter

Deployable Power System Shelter

External Interface Module

This module provides interconnectivity with external telephony systems such as ISDN PRI, E1 connections, FXS etc. to the Main Node Module gateways.

Deployable C2 Tent

The C2 tent houses office style user possitions. The tent system comes complete with furniture, lights and cabeling.

Deployable Maintenance Shelter

Funtions as the main storage for laptop computers, terminals, cables, spare parts, service equipment etc. during transportation. When deployed, it acts as the main service shelter.

Deployable Main Node Shelter

The core shelter of the Deployable HQ. Houses the subsystems, such as servers, storage, gateways, WAN connectivity and network infrastructure.

Deployable C2 Shelter

The Deployable C2 Shelter houses the personnel during mission. Cooling and CBRN features are built in to the shelter. Can be interconnected with other permanent and/or temporary infrastructure.

Deployable HVAC Shelter

The Deployable HVAC Shelter provides the air conditioning and climate control systems for all shelters and C2 tents. Consists of up to eight individual HVAC pods.

Deployable Power System Shelter

The Deployable Power System Shelter provides the main power supply to the deployable HQ. Capable of providing 2x70 kVA with full redundancy and handover capability.

Full DCIS Solution

Within 48 hours the solution can be further expanded to consist of a full blown DCIS solution including everything you need to maintain prolonged operations abroad up to and including mobile airfields.

Expanded from the HQ solution this setup will also include:

SSIC Shelter

Maintenance Shelter

Spare Part Shelter

SSIC Shelter

Will provide the censor source intelligence cell to collect sensor intelligence and provide a common operational picture as well as intelligence- and operational input.

Maintenance Shelter

Provides the working environment for all field repairs and equipment maintenance within the scope of operations.

Spare Part Shelter

Provides space for storage, spare parts etc This setup can/will of course be supplemented by any required number of field- server-, power- and battery-modules etc. needed to facilitate ongoing operations. Further, in case of airbase operations, it can include tower modules, runway modules etc. in order to support airborne operations.

Communication

FOB

Often near the front line, rapid deployment and capable of the harsh environmental demands near the front line.

Secure communication with patrols and main base is the key for successful operations.
FOB can also act as a “fly-a-way” HQ for a smaller missions and/or training purposes.
Provides all needed mission support systems for international endeavors.

Logistical footprint: Two Chinook helicopters or similar with initial staff
Time To Get Operational: <2hrs
Strength/Endurance: 14 days
Environment: Tent or existing structures
Number of users: ~20 C2/Office style users
100% self sustainable for the mission duration

Deployable HQ

Provide an environment where the users will feel like at home base.

Capability to act as an independent HQ as well as in an Forward HQ for the home base.
Provides all needed mission support systems for international endeavors.

Logistical footprint: A number of logistical type aircrafts (C-130 / C17)

Time To Get Operational: ~12 hours
Strength/Endurance: 6 months
Environment: Expandable Shelters and Tents
Number of users: ~200 C2/Office style users
