Rohde & Schwarz Emirates has received a contract to supply its naval integrated communications system, NAVICS, to an undisclosed Gulf navy.
NAVICS is designed to ensure enhanced connectivity for all classes of naval vessels. The system allows fully IP-based, secure internal and external voice and data communications in harsh environments.
Integrating an open, modular, and scalable IP architecture, NAVICS uses a single Ethernet network for all services and features multilevel security.
The system will be installed on new corvettes.
Rohde & Schwarz Middle East and Africa Military and Government Solutions vice-president Ernest Joseph Yasso said: “We are very proud to have been selected by this Gulf navy for their very important national asset.
“Rohde & Schwarz, a long-term partner of the Gulf navies, is working toward a common basis and interoperability within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) by providing communications solutions, training, and service level agreements.
