Ship Communications

Today, the coordination of naval forces relies on resilient, secure and interoperable communications networks, integrating not only ships, but also air platforms and command centres via high-speed voice and data communications.

New operational environments demand greater flexibility, with the ability to coordinate a large number of communications simultaneously while ensuring intelligent management of voice and data flows. This is particularly essential in contexts where radio resources are limited and speed of execution is paramount.

Today's naval forces operate in a world where inter-connectivity between platforms, including unmanned vehicles (UxVs), is essential for shared situational awareness. The need for hybrid networks for collaborative combat, combining civilian and military infrastructures, is becoming critical to ensure smooth operations, even in the most contested environments.

Cyber security remains an imperative, with increasingly stringent requirements to protect communications against sophisticated cyber threats. Learn more on Cybersecurity solutions for naval forces | Thales Group.

In addition, electromagnetic spectrum management has become a priority to ensure that naval forces maintain control of their communications in environments where electronic interference and threats are increasing.

These new operational requirements call for scalable and robust solutions capable of supporting modern naval operations by ensuring the security, flexibility and resilience of naval communications.
