The
U.S. Army has begun introduction of a new vehicular intercom system designed
to offer soldiers 21st century communications features inside a variety
of vehicles. A recent milestone decision by the Army’s program executive
officer for enterprise information systems (PEO EIS) gave the go-ahead
for procurement of the Army-Navy/Vehicle Inter Communications 5 system,
or AN/VIC-5 (V) designed and manufactured by joint venture Northrop Grumman
and Cobham. |

AN/VIC-5’s
customizable, mix-and match, modular architecture scales to accommodate
virtually any platform requirements. This intuitive, flexible approach
allows users to combine system components to provide clear, noise-free
communications between crewmembers inside the combat vehicle and externally
to dismounted users and combat net radios. Selecting from a variety of
standard modules enables system scalability to support vehicle command
post operations and tactical operations centers with up to 58 users and
16 combat net radios. |
