The vehicle installation enables secure voice and data services to be shared seamlessly between platform and soldier.

It can exchange data such as target locations and pictures between vehicles and troops, enabling the queuing of vehicle mounted optics and weapons or retransmission to other platforms to better support dismounted operations.
