Cobham to provide vehicle intercoms, combat radios in $21m Middle East deal

Cobham will provide its military Vehicle Intercom System and Eagle Close Combat Radio to an undisclosed Middle East customer through two contracts totalling US$21 million.

Integrating the Eagle Close Combat Radio with the Vehicle Intercoms allows dismounted soldiers to communicate with vehicle crews and remotely access the Combat Net Radio system.

The Eagle Radio is designed as a short range squad radio and as a wireless link to a Vehicle Intercom System. Eagle was selected for its ease of use, full duplex ad-hoc networking capability, security features and remote access to man-pack and vehicle mounted Combat Net Radios.

Cobham's Intercom System is the compact version of the well established ROVIS range, designed for use on vehicles where space is at a premium. Cobham has supplied more than 55,000 compact systems around the world and more than 125,000 intercoms of all types.

"Our ROVIS Intercom Systems offer a capable and cost effective intercom solution," said Cobham Defence Communications Vice President Steve Collier. "We've been expecting these orders for some time, so we can now concentrate on delivery."

In 2010 the US Army selected Cobham's new TacG2 system for its $2.4 billion Vehicle Intercom System Extended (VIS-X) programme. The TacG2 is a modular, scalable system which may be extended to provide a wider and more advanced communications network.
