Chemring Technology Solutions Delivers World's Most Comprehensive C4 Capability

ROMSEY, England, March 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --



See SmartLink(TM) & TACCOMS at the LIMA exhibition, 17-21 March, Stand A96



Chemring Technology Solutions has successfully integrated SmartLink
[http://www.chemringts.com/smartlink ](TM), a portable network-in-a-box, with TACCOMS, a
unique software application, to deliver a complete C4 (command, control, communication and
coordination) capability for tactical operations.



Developed by University Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia (UPNM), TACCOMS generates a
search grid to optimise the deployment of tactical resources within land, sea or air
scenarios. The integration of SmartLink(TM) with TACCOMS allows the tactical team leader
to maintain complete command and control via a self-contained, secure communications
network. Seamless and continuous C4 capability delivers improved team collaboration and
situational awareness, resulting in greater mission effectiveness.



Current tactical military radios constrain users to basic voice and low data rate
communications. SmartLink(TM) delivers teams on the ground, and in command centres, access
to high-end cellular network features, enabling voice, image and video sharing in real
time.



When the local commercial cellular infrastructure fails, SmartLink(TM) can be deployed
in less than three minutes, delivering a wide area cellular network. SmartLink's small
form factor, long range and low power consumption is unrivalled in the market, and it has
been successfully trialled by organisations worldwide. It can be used to support military
operations, national border security, humanitarian aid and public safety operations, where
the existing commercial mobile network coverage may be unreliable or non-existent.



Will Tucker, Product Leader at Chemring Technology Solutions, said: "The biggest
problem in any tactical operation is effective C4; there are many cases where a lapse in
this has caused lives to be lost or failure of the mission. The combination of
SmartLink(TM) and TACCOMS provides the ultimate C4 capability, delivering real time
information to those on the ground, when all other communications systems fail. Soldiers
will also carry less weight, and can maintain their push-to-talk (PTT) radio
communications and share real-time location, video and image data."
