VCS Secure Voice – air communication solution

The TactiCall Voice Communication Solution provides Ground/Air & Ground/Ground communication capabilities for Air Control Centres such as Air Operational Centres (AOC), Combined Air Operational Centres (CAOC), Control & Reporting Centres (CRC), Ground Entry Points (GEP), Tactical Command Post (TCP) and Last minute briefing Systems.

The solution provides an intuitive operator control interface and advanced communication management capabilities for communication set-up, mission planning and control. The solution is flexible, scalable and fully IP based in order to adjust to changing operational needs. The solution provides the required multi-level domain separation and a comprehensive set of features for radio control, telephone, intercom, conference, data link and recording services.

Ground/Air and Ground/Ground communication

TactiCall VCS allows the operators to listen to a mix of secure and non-secure communication channels and be able to speak either secure or non-secure as the situation requires.

For cost effective multi-level secure voice operations and easy crypto key management, TactiCall facilitates crypto pools for dynamic sharing of cryptos physically secured in the command centre.

A conversation with a fighter aircraft can start as non-secure and during the conversation be switched to a national or NATO secret conversation "Go Secure – by a single touch". Air Operational modes on radio-based communication are supported in this way.

TactiCall VCS can be expanded to include multiple security levels e.g. UNCLASSIFIED, Coalition SECRET and National SECRET.

The TactiCall management system is a core element of the solution and provides automated communication management capabilities for communication setup, mission planning and control. The web based management system provides the operator with an overview, control and status of equipment and communication chains. For fail-safe naval operations, the system even allows for test of communication chains prior to use.

Multi-level Secure Communications

TactiCall ICS allows the operators to listen to a mix of secure & non-secure communication channels and be able to speak either secure or non-secure as the situation requires.

A conversation with another ship can start as non-secure and during the conversation be switched to a national or Coalition secret conversation “Go Secure - by a single touch”. Naval operational modes on radio-based communication are supported in this way.

Operational security is provided through access control, red/black separation, EAL5+ certified security guards and emission control plans.

TactiCall ICS can be expanded to include multiple security levels e.g.: UNCLASSIFIED, Coalition SECRET and National SECRET.
