ICASIntegrated CommunicationsAntenna System
• Low interference• Large number of communication lines• High level of redundancy• Integration with various radio subsystems• Low Radar Cross Section
ICAS is a smart solution that integrates the antennas needed forthe many different VHF-, UHF- and wideband communicationsservices used on modern naval ships into one single antenna suite. As such, it can be used in Integrated Mast con� gurations and is highly scalable; the included functions can be tailored to the Customer’s needs.
Supported capabilities (selectable):• Maritime line-of-sight VHF communications• Maritime line-of-sight UHF communications• Aeronautical VHF/UHF services• The UHF part of LINK-11 and LINK-22 (via common UHF communications channel)• Automatic Identi� cation System AIS (via common VHF communications channel)• International Maritime Mobile (via common VHF communications channel)• LINK-16 Rx• GSM / UMTS mobile phone• Iridium• WiMAX• Direction � nding support• Communications ESM support
Options• Increased number of communication lines• Additional redundant Tx antennas
Performance• Communication up to 230 km
