Under the terms of the award, Vitavox will design, engineer, manufacture and supply a military specification public address system. This will allow vehicle commanders to speak to or address persons outside the vehicle whilst remaining safe within.

The system will utilise the battle proven qualities of Vitavox loudspeakers and military communications systems in a mobile, fully integrated and vehicle mounted format.
