TactiCall ICS interconnects all your communication technologies regardless of radioband, frequency and hardware, reduces effort, reduces risk and increase tempo. The system is scalable from one to several operator positions or communication interfaces and makes up the centerpiece in remote controlled setups from single radio to complete operations.

Being completely modular, Tacticall ICS will allow you to put together the functionality needed to support your operational requirements spot on. Integrating seamlessly with third party equipment, legacy or new, it will protect prior investments and prolong the lifespan of your existing systems as well.

The intuitive and modern user interface will guarantee secure and reliable operations within every operational setup, be it within international or joint coalitions, own force squadrons or single ship operations.

In every way TactiCall constitutes a robust and highly survivable system with no single point of failure, which will let you handle voice and data communication, red as well as black, in a fast and efficient manner.

Internal

TactiCall gives you complete control of, and fast access to, all internal communication networks in your system, whether it is on shore or off shore. Be it functional nets including telephony, public address systems, entertainment systems and the like, or working nets handling alarms, broadcasts and orders. TactiCall puts you in charge!

TactiCall is highly flexible and scalable and can easily be integrated with, or added to, your existing working environment. Further, the system is platform independent and will integrate seamlessly into your rmanagement system of choice.

In other words TactiCall lets you control all internal communication on your platform and with features such as record and playback helps you log and later analyze your communication flows.

External

In today’s world navy operations often consist of joint setups. Task or coalition force operations, including other military arms. SOF teams, air force, marine detachments and even civil and NGO agencies can be important players in the operation.

More often than not, this setup includes a multitude of different frequency bands, networks and radio equipment.TactiCall will integrate all these into one simple and easy to use solution that permits everybody to reach each other, regardless of equipment used.

TactiCall will allow key features for modern day operations like secure voice separation with mulitple levels of security and radio remote control. Utilizing this functionality government or task force commanders will be able to communicate directly with whoever needs to be addressed - facilitating a much smoother and more rapid "Statement of No Objection" chain for example.

User Experience

Communicate flexibly and effectively

Define the nets needed and assign operator access to each of these – that simple! Operators can concurrently monitor or communicate via any combination of the accessible nets – if permitted by your communication policies, including security restrictions. TactiCall gets the message through, even when having to adapt the nets’ operational parameters using remote control.

Connect whoever is needed

TactiCall provides you with tools to let all involved parties communicate effectively, regardless of frequency bands, standards and equipment suppliers. This can be achieved by either preconfigured connections through the management system or on-the-fly patches created and maintained by the operator.

TactiCall supports your public address functionality

Both general announcements and emergency alarms can be triggered by the operator with no more than three touches on the TSS. Alarms and Public Address can be configured to either address individual sectors and zones or be broadcast on the entire vessel - and of course be triggered either generally or individually. In addition to this, the PA can be setup to broadcast either predefined messages or live speech.

An effective telephony solution

TactiCall includes a full feature telephony element, which can replace the traditional stand-alone telephone system. Dial from operator defined phone books, using either the number pad, using direct call keys or respond to last calls. Each physical unit has a phone number, as well as all operators and roles.

ICS Secure Voice & Data Communication

TactiCall ICS is built to facilitate the chain of command. Naval and military communication requires RED and BLACK separation as well as security accreditation of the overall solution.

The core element to enable accreditation is a transfer cross domain solution (CDS) that is a combination of firewall, contents filtering and encryption, as well as an access CDS within the user terminals. The access CDS will handle switching the user microphone to each specific circuit at a time as well as adding warning tones to the users’ speakers where appropriate.

Further, TactiCall allows operators to monitor a mix of secure (RED) and non-secure (BLACK) voice communication, and be able to speak either secure or non-secure as the situation requires. This set-up can be expanded to include several security domains e.g. UNCLASSIFIED, National SECRET and Coalition SECRET in a simple but fully secure system as the user terminals do not need to be directly hardwired with the individual networks.
