Named Dicom, the JV will enable the further enhancement of the SOVERON communications system. The lightweight handheld software-defined radio with networking and multiband capability in the UHF/VHF frequency range is designed to bring fully integrated, high-performance and scalable trusted communications solutions for all branches of the armed forces.
Dicom has commercial operations in Uherské Hradiště in the Czech Republic.
