Military & Defence Communication Systems.
Reliable communication is critical across every tier of Military and Defence operations, from tactical field deployments to strategic command infrastructure.
Radiocoms are a trusted Tier 1 contractor, operating in partnership with Defence Digital and TacSys Service Executive Teams.
We design, commission, and deploy modular, scalable voice, video, and data systems for Ministry of Defence customers worldwide, secure to government classification standards, and built to address a full range of challenges.
Let’s start a conversation.
What communication systems are used in Military and Defence?
- Defence communication systems are purpose-built, or COTS (commercial off the shelf) platforms used to provide secure, resilient voice and data connectivity across tactical and strategic environments.
- Systems span a wide range of technologies depending on the mission profile, range requirement, and security classification.
- Radiocoms deploy and support a broad portfolio of defence technologies, including:
- Body-worn video for individual situational awareness and evidential recording
- P25, TETRA, and DMR Land Mobile Radio (LMR) for secure voice and data communication
- 4G and 5G LTE push-to-talk over cellular devices
- Wi-Fi and tactical deployable communication systems for temporary or forward-deployed networks
- HF and VHF radio for long-range and beyond-line-of-sight communication
- Satellite communication devices
- Tactical hearing protection
Scope and function of defence communications systems.
Defence communication system requirements span individual sites through to wide-area network infrastructure supporting multi-agency and tri-service operations.
Core capabilities include:
- Tactical voice and data: Secure radio communication between individuals, vehicles, and command elements across defined operational areas.
- Deployable infrastructure: Rapidly deployable communication systems establishing LTE voice and data networks in locations without existing infrastructure.
- Situational awareness: Software applications and body-worn video platforms providing command elements with a real-time operational picture.
- Interoperability: Multi-vendor, multi-technology integration enabling communication across different services, agencies, and allied forces.
Security and operational integrity.
Security in Defence communication systems is achieved through a combination of standard-defined controls, network architecture, and device-level capability. Depending on the platform and classification level, this may include:
- End-to-end encryption at the application or device layer for classified voice and data traffic.
- Controlled network access and device authentication across managed communication infrastructure.
- Secure routing through controlled military network infrastructure.
Radiocoms work within the security frameworks defined by the MoD and relevant Defence standards.
How Radiocoms supports military and defence customers.
Radiocoms provide end-to-end support across the full lifecycle of any solution deployed. Here are some of the ways this is delivered:
- Consultancy and system design: working with defence customers to define requirements, select appropriate technologies, and design systems that meet operational and security criteria.
- Supply and integration: procuring, configuring, and integrating hardware and software across multi-vendor, multi-technology deployments.
- Commissioning and deployment: on-site installation and commissioning of systems in both fixed and deployed environments, including international operations.
- Through-life and ILS support: integrated logistic support covering maintenance schedules, repair, spares management, and training across the operational life of the system.
- Tri-service and joint operations: supplying and supporting communication systems for Army, Navy, and Air Force operations, as well as multi-agency and allied force interoperability requirements.
