Telephonics demonstrates multi-platform networked intercomm system

Telephonics Corporation has demonstrated its NetCom-VTM networked intercommunications system to US Army and US Marine Corps evaluators as part of the recent Army Expedited Modernisation Initiative Procedure (EMIP) exercise at Ft. Eustis in Virginia. NetCom-V is Telephonics' candidate solution for the US Army's $3+ Billion VIS-X IDIQ Program.

Telephonics was invited to demonstrate common system interoperability on rotary wing, tactical wheeled vehicle and watercraft platforms. This was done with installations onboard a UH-1 helicopter command and control C2 Testbed, HMMWV and LC2000 watercraft. The key to the demonstration was the ability to provide common system capabilities and features that are integrated across aviation, ground vehicle and watercraft.

"The demonstrated NetCom-V technologies are ready for fielding and show that integrated wired and wireless intercommunications can fill existing, documented Army communications capability gaps," said Steve Esposito, Vice President for Business Development, Telephonics Communication Systems Division. "The Technology Readiness Level 8 (TRL 8) NetCom-V also brings capabilities that fit the requirements for the future Army and Marine Corps Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) by unlocking the capabilities that future networked radios bring to the warfighter. Older stovepipe intercom systems cannot interface, control or manage the advanced networked radios planned for installation on future Army and USMC platforms."
