Reference

Some outputs of the S & AP Dept.
Within solution of the NNEC project there has been developed and realized prototype of the mobile operational centre suitable for communication and information support to commander of lower military units (troop, platoon).
Within the defence development project, OTS – PS Integrated system of Administration and Managing, have been designed:

  • The prototype of the VŠV-4p working place container intended to planning and monitoring communication and information security status of the Brigade task Force of the ground forces of the Czech Republic Armed Forces. The VŠV-4p complements a family of command-staff working places realized by the VTÚLaPVO, branch, from 2005 to 2008 for the benefit of the 4th Rapid Deployment Brigade (RDB) and the 7th Mechanized Brigade (MB) of the Armed Forces of the Czech Republic.
  • The prototype of the LMSW 10 field switch, enabling quickly establishing field LAN in tents, shelters or on detached places. It is interconnected with command post (Command-Staff Vehicle, CSV (VŠV)) via optical fibre. Distance of the detached working place is limited by amount of carried optical fibres (practically, it is about 2 km).

The prototype was realized by OPTOKON Co., Ltd., Jihlava.
