Rostec company Ruselectronics has developed a multifunctional integrated communication system for maritime vessels.
Called MIKS, the system provides digital communications and wireless connectivity with seamless roaming for submarines and surface ships.
On board, the system provides internal hands-free voice communication, ship telephony, video surveillance, and monitoring of the location and physiological state of the crew, as well as streaming of video content on screens installed in the crew cabins. For external communications, MIKS supports telegraph and telephone communication, video conferencing, and data and file sharing.
MIKS is scalable for different grades and classes of ships, both small cruisers and large aircraft carriers. The system combines screens, cordless phones with touchscreens, terminals for command broadcasting, and sensors in a single system. All equipment is designed to withstand rough seas, exposure to seawater and a wide range of temperatures.
Sergey Abramov, industrial director of Rostec, said: ‘Previously, in order to communicate with the commander, members of the crew had to use a stationary device. The use of our solution will allow any crew member to have the ability to quickly receive and transfer information from any place on the ship.’
The airborne three-domain, the two ground-based and the ¼ ATR OpenVPX-based cross-domain systems were engineered to provide real-time security across multi-domain operations.
DARPA’s Mission-Integrated Network Control (MINC) programme was set up to develop an autonomous tactical network and enable critical data flow in contested environments.
Why space is an essential part of modern military capabilities
Defence-secure mixed reality headsets can save hours, or even weeks, of travel time to fix defunct equipment or get subject experts effectively “on-site” where they are needed.
The Joint Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare (JCREW) counter-improvised explosive device (C-IED) and Drone Restricted Access Using Known Electromagnetic Warfare (DRAKE) counter-UAS (CUAS) systems are mounted and dismounted RF jammers.
Adarga’s Vantage information analysis tool is in service with the UK MoD and individual UK forces. It builds on the company’s Knowledge Platform which processes, organises and analyses open source material, as well as information held by the user’s military, security and intelligence services.
