V-TACS

V-TACS was designed by operators for operators. Simply put, V-TACS is the world's easiest command and control system to operate. One on/off knob is all it takes to operate V-TACS. Upon start-up, the satellite data link starts transmitting its location to all users on the network. An icon on the map screen appears for each user and refreshes at a user defined interval. V-TACS Push to Talk (PTT) voice communications work just like common tactical radios, even using standard military handsets. An external amplified speaker allows users to monitor voice traffic from a distance. Operators send text messages and event reports with an intuitive on screen operations management application. Radio connectivity status and signal strength are on constant display so users always know the communications status.

V-TACS consists of three principle components: Vector Iridium Data Link (VIDL), laser range finder, and rugged computing platform running the Locorum Operations Management Application. V-TACS is ruggedly constructed and environmentally sealed, making it suitable for use on small boats and tactical vehicles. It is also well suited to command center applications, where is can be interfaced to other tracking or surveillance systems to distribute targets and position reports to remote users. V-TACS does not require a central server or complex system architecture, making it easy to deploy.
