Integrated Naval Communication Systems

Your world is our world

ease of operation, a wide variety of
equipment has to be provided for inter­nal and external communication. These

facilities must be combined intelligently
Advanced communication networks are
indispensable for commanding modern
naval forces. Today, these networks not
only have to meet the operational re­quirements, but must also ensure interop­erability between the partners involved
in a scenario of dynamic coalitions and
alliances, without affecting the partners'
sovereignty and security. To satisfy the
requirement for maximum operational
benefit, optimum efficiency and great

and with compatible interfaces to form

an integrated system. Only the best

communication, IT and security solutions

available are eligible to become integral

parts of such a system.

The standard specifications of this

system are concise and comprehensive

alike: all kinds of information have to be

transmitted to defined stations in a

secure and protected form over any

distance and using alternative routes
(voice, data and video in local, tactical
and strategic networks – within a task
force, within the three forces or be­tween allies). Modern communication
protocols such as wireless TCP/IP are
essential prerequisites, as are the rele­vant NATO standards for tactical data,
communication security and protection,
and electronic protective measures
(EPM) such as frequency hopping (FH)

or direct sequence spread spectrum
(DSSS). The standard systems used,
which besides VHF, UHF and HF links
include satellite links (SHF, EHF), Intra­net and high-speed LAN, can easily
be adapted to customer-specific re­quirements, usually through software
modifications.

Only a system integrator with many
years of experience is in a position to
design and implement systems of such
complexity that not only satisfy the
requirements of the navy, but also fea­ture ease of operation and maintenance

as well as reasonable prices. For dec-

ades, Rohde & Schwarz has been one of

the leading suppliers of military radio-

communication equipment for the three

forces, and is ideally qualified to imple-

ment economical and future-oriented

solutions for naval communications.
