Scope

NAVICS IP-based internal communications system and Maritime Operational Command Centre

A modern IP communications system for a growing naval force.

The Qatar Emiri Navy required a modern, fully IP-based internal communications system for its naval vessels, one capable of interconnecting distributed on-board voice terminals and subsystems across a uniform network with the resilience and security naval operations demand.

Alongside the vessel infrastructure, the Navy required a Maritime Operational Command Centre (MOCC) for centralised coordination.

IP-based communications from vessel to command.
