SFAB prepares to adopt Intercom
The 2nd Security Force Assistance Brigade (SFAB) in the US Army is to use the Intercom lightweight and portable system for seamless integration of all communication sources such as radios or devices, Swedish manufacturer INVISIO announced on 4 September.
Following testing, the SFAB expects deliveries by the end of 2020. The order is worth up to SEK5 million ($570,000).
Intercom is designed for use on ground vehicles, boats, rotary-wing and fixed-wing aircraft. It enables inter-group communication, access to the vehicle radio system, communication with the driver, as well as usage of personal role radios when needed.
The system ‘demonstrates that we can extend technology and capabilities to mobility platforms, while greatly reducing the size, weight, and cost of this type of equipment,’ said INVISIO CEO Lars Højgård Hansen.
SFAB units specialise in advise-and-assist operations with allied and partner nations.
