“TactiCall offers flexibility without compromising security demands which are very important in the naval domain.”

TactiCall ICS creates access to several communication channels on different classification levels.

It increases operators’ efficiency in performing and managing operational duties.

With the help of TactiCall ICS, users can listen to a mix of both secure and unclassified communication. Users can also talk in both secure and unclassified communication scenarios simultaneously.

In 2017, the Royal New Zealand Navy contracted Saab for the installation of the TactiCall ICS on-board its future fleet replenishment vessel ‘HMNZS Aotearoa’.
