For the past four years, Compunetix’s Federal Systems Division (FSD) has partnered with the U.S. Navy to develop, implement, and deploy the Secure Voice Communication System (SVCS) for naval military applications. The SVCS establishes a critical voice communication architecture that is both user-friendly and easily upgradeable, ensuring efficient updates to equipment, software, and firmware. This system connects consoles, remote terminals, ship phone systems, ship communications networks, and external radio devices. Designed as an enterprise-level solution, the SVCS can be used across various ship platforms.
The Platform
The SVCS includes the Mission Critical Enclosure (MCE), a custom-built unit that underwent extensive testing for shock, vibration, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and Tempest compliance. The MCE houses up to six of the newly designed Compunetix 4-STAR v2.0 units and two Mission Voice Platforms (MVP) in red and black. Installed on naval vessels, the SVCS acts as a mission-critical communication bridge, enabling secure communication among the other Compunetix Ruggedized End Instrument (REI) units throughout the ship.
New MVP Core Enhancements and Features
FSD engineers worked closely with the U.S. Navy to incorporate specific feature requests and create new conference types ensuring the MVP met and exceeded all requirements. Connectivity integration was another requirement. All Compunetix Mission Instruments (MI) had to be developed with strict specifications that enabled them to interface with existing Navy communication systems.
The Federal Systems Division is now finalizing the deployment of the SVCS, marking the final phase of what is expected to be the first of many orders for this project. In light of last week’s national recognition of engineers, it’s important to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of the engineers at Compunetix, whose efforts have turned the vision for this project into reality.
