Working with combat-proven technologies from our international partners, we can develop communication solutions for different operational levels and environments.

Our capabilities include:

• Tactical radio communication systems
• Secure voice and data communications
• Handheld, manpack, mobile, and fixed radio solutions
• Tactical radio networks
• Radio network planning and configuration
• Integration of radio communications with C2 and other operational systems
• Communication system deployment and configuration
• Training, technical support, and lifecycle services

Our objective is not simply to provide communication equipment, but to establish a reliable and integrated communications capability that supports the customer's operational requirements.

Command & Control (C2)

Information Where It Is Needed, When It Is Needed.

S3 provides Command and Control (C2) solutions designed to improve situational awareness, information sharing, coordination, and decision-making.

C2 solutions can bring together information from users, tactical networks, operational platforms, sensors, and other systems to provide relevant personnel with a shared understanding of the operational environment.

Depending on customer requirements, capabilities can include:

• Common operational picture
• Tactical mapping and geospatial information
• Position and status information
• Operational reporting
• Messaging and information exchange
• Mission and operational planning
• Command and control information exchange
• Integration with tactical radio networks
• Integration with other operational systems and data sources

S3 supports the complete implementation process, including solution design, integration, configuration, deployment, training, and ongoing technical support.

Fire Support & Targeting

Connecting Information, Coordination, and Action

Effective fire support depends on the timely and accurate exchange of information between the personnel and systems involved in observation, targeting, coordination, command and control, and execution.

S3 provides and integrates Fire Support and Targeting Systems designed to support this information flow within the customer's operational environment.

Solutions may combine:

• Target acquisition and reporting capabilities
• Positioning and geospatial information
• Tactical communications
• Digital information exchange
• Command and control applications
• Relevant sensors and observation systems
• Integration with supporting operational platforms and systems

Our integration approach focuses on establishing reliable information exchange between the appropriate elements while supporting interoperability with the customer's wider communications and command-and-control environment.

Tactical Data Networks

Connecting the Operational Environment

Modern tactical systems depend on resilient networks capable of transporting information securely between users, platforms, command posts, sensors, and applications.

S3 designs and integrates tactical data networking solutions supporting voice, data, C2, situational awareness, and other mission-critical services.

Solutions can include radio-based tactical networks, IP networking, mobile and deployable network infrastructure, network management, and integration between different communications technologies.

The objective is to create a communications environment in which information can move securely and reliably to the users and systems that need it.

SATCOM

Communications Beyond Terrestrial Networks

Satellite communications can provide connectivity where terrestrial infrastructure is unavailable, insufficient, or operationally unsuitable.

S3 can provide SATCOM solutions as standalone capabilities or as part of wider tactical and operational communications architectures.

Depending on operational requirements, satellite connectivity can be integrated with command posts, tactical networks, C2 applications, deployable infrastructure, and other communication systems to extend connectivity across dispersed locations.

ISR Solutions

Information Supporting Situational Awareness

Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities help organizations collect, distribute, and use information required to understand the operational environment.

S3 can integrate ISR technologies and information sources with communications, networking, C2, and other operational systems.

Our focus is on ensuring that relevant information can be securely transported, presented, and shared with authorized users as part of the wider operational environment.

UAV Integration

Connecting Unmanned Systems to the Operational Network

Unmanned aerial systems can provide valuable information to commanders, operational personnel, and other authorized users.

S3 supports the integration of UAV capabilities with communications, networks, C2, and ISR environments, helping make information generated by unmanned platforms available to the systems and personnel that require it.

Depending on customer requirements and selected technologies, integration may include data connectivity, information distribution, situational-awareness applications, and command-post environments.

Electronic Warfare

Integrated Capabilities for the Electromagnetic Environment

S3 can provide and integrate Electronic Warfare (EW) technologies in cooperation with specialized technology partners.

Solutions may support capabilities related to the detection, analysis, monitoring, and management of activity within the electromagnetic environment, depending on customer requirements and the technologies selected.

Where appropriate, EW capabilities can be integrated with communications, command and control, ISR, and other operational systems to support a broader understanding of the operational environment.

Cybersecurity

Protecting Mission-Critical Information and Systems

As operational systems become increasingly connected, cybersecurity becomes an essential component of mission-critical infrastructure.

S3 considers security throughout the solution lifecycle and can provide cybersecurity technologies and services in cooperation with specialized partners.

Depending on requirements, cybersecurity capabilities can support the protection of networks, systems, applications, communications, and operational information, while complementing the customer's wider security architecture.

Command-Post Infrastructure

An Integrated Environment for Command and Control

Command posts require more than individual communications and IT systems. They depend on an integrated technical environment capable of supporting communications, networking, information systems, situational awareness, and command-and-control functions.

S3 can design and integrate command-post infrastructure combining relevant technologies into a coordinated operational environment.

Solutions can incorporate:

• Secure communications
• Tactical and IP networking
• C2 systems
• Operator workstations
• Displays and visualization
• Servers and supporting IT infrastructure
• Power and connectivity infrastructure
• Integration with external operational systems

Solutions can be developed for fixed, mobile, or deployable environments according to customer requirements.

Deployable Communication Systems

Mission-Critical Connectivity Where It Is Needed

Operational requirements frequently demand communications and information capabilities outside permanent facilities.

S3 can provide mobile and deployable communication solutions designed to establish communications, networking, and command-and-control capabilities in temporary or rapidly established operational locations.

Solutions may combine tactical radios, networking, SATCOM, C2 applications, IT infrastructure, power systems, and other supporting technologies into an integrated deployable capability.
