Integrated Communication Systems

Integrated, IP-based communication management for surface ships, submarines and shore stations.

AEROMARITIME develops , designs and produces communications systems to meet specific customer requirements using the newest technologies for worldwide military naval applications.

Integrated Communications systems provide ultimate convenience for all tactical and administrative communication tasks, custom-made for naval vessels of any size – from submarine to destroyer.

The APCOS® 4000 central switching platform was developed to meet the latest requirements for a digital communications network. The associated control software COSYMA (Communication System Manager) provides sophisticated and comprehensive system control.

For telex and military email procedures, security is our highest priority: SAMMS® (Secure Automatic Military Messaging System) stands for user-friendly, menu-driven ACP 127 message handling.

Recognition systems such as the IFF Interrogator/ Transponder System provide unambiguous results in the identification of foreign platforms. In extreme conditions and confined spaces, AEROMARITIME multifunction submarine antennas are installed on submarines.

  • Voice, data, control signal routing and switching 
  • IP routing, voice over IP 
  • Computer-to-computer communications 
  • Administrative communication services 
  • Strict separation of classified and unclassified information to ensure IT Security 

Network
Nodes

  • For switching and conferencing,
  • Interconnected via redundant ATM network links;
  • Connected to Terminal Adapters (TA) via unified digital interfaces.

Terminal Adapters (TA)

For the Adaptation of the external Terminals.

Voice & Control Terminals (VCT)

The Nodes of the system are interconnected by a dual FOC ring to guarantee a maximum of survivability in case of cable breaks or Node faults in the system.

MANAGEMENT PLATFORM

Communication System Manager (COSYMA)

COSYMA is the control centre for APCOS®4000, consisting of a comprehensive and versatile application software that includes the following components:

Communications Network Control (CNC)

Radio & Device Control (RDC)

Secure Automatic Military Message Handling System (SAMMS®)

The COSYMA subsystem includes a server and a number of workstations which provide overall system and network management, including full control of all major radio equipment, modems and ancillary equipment, as well as message handling.

The Communications Network Control (CNC) component of COSYMA provides the following functions for the control of the APCOS® 4000 system:

Administration
