To provide a secure voice and data communications network for boarding operations to improve situational awareness
The challenge
To provide a secure communications network between a warship and its boarding crew that would provide sustained situational awareness in support of boarding operations.
Our Solution
Our Solution was to exploit existing radio equipment on-board the warship, and provide the seaboat with a corresponding system that was fully enclosed in a robust – and easily transferable – IP67-rated enclosure.
STS Defence demonstrated its capability to react quickly and efficiently to urgent requirements whilst maintaining its reputation for engineering excellence.
