Telephonics Corporation, a part of the Griffon Corporation that develops information, communication, and sensor system solutions for various markets, has announced that the NetCom-VTM networked intercommunication system developed by the company has been successfully qualification tested. Hence, the development of the NetCom-V moves ahead to allow the system to enter full-scale production now.

 

A number of certified independent laboratories conducted the qualification test, and the environmental Military Standard (MIL-STD 810F) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) (MIL-STD 461) and TEMPEST (NSTISSAM 1/92) testings, which are essential for U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) ground vehicles, were included in the qualification test.

 

Phil Nicholas, president of Systems Division at Telephonics, said that throughout the numerous demonstration, qualification and customer evaluation activities completed over the past months, the NetCom-V system has proven that integrated wired and wireless intercommunications can fill existing, documented U.S. Army and USMC communications capability gaps. Nicholas further noted that NetCom-V also brings capabilities that fit the requirements for the future Army and Marine Corps Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) as it unlocks the capabilities brought to the warfighter by the future networked radios.
