The Leonardo DRS Vehicle Intercom System (VIS) is an off the shelf product that offers a flexible, future-proof solution to platform based audio. Designed for Military, Emergency Services vehicles and command posts or any other situation where high quality intra-crew and intrafleet voice communications is required. The Leonardo DRS VIS is fully interoperable with most existing tactical and emergency services radio and radio networks.

The Ethernet-based capability of the Leonardo DRS VIS network enables system integrators to construct audio networks using modular building blocks, which can then be deployed from mobile vehicles to Command and Control locations. All LRUs utilize a standard solution set.

Capabilities

Scalable

The Leonardo DRS VIS is a scalable, modular system that can be used in applications from a combat vehicle, emergency response vehicle, all the way to a Command Post, offering a complete range of communication services.

Crystal Clear Communications

The Leonardo DRS VIS has been designed from the ground up to be a totally digital system using a software defined architecture to support Voice over IP communications. It supports Active Noise Reduction headsets, removing the background vehicle noise from the microphone and enhancing the speech quality and intelligibility.

Future Proof Design

The Leonardo DRS VIS leverages an open architecture based on Ethernet interfaces. All VIS components utilize FLASH based micro-processors which are field re-programmable. The audio system supports multiple CODECs and upgradeable software modules ensure
compatibility with future communication requirements.
