Flightcell Pro for Military

Modern military operations require the use of a range of communications equipment, whether in aircraft, vehicles or on foot. Growing demand for secure point-to-point communication is leading to increased use of satellite and cellular links, but inbuilt phone systems are expensive to install, less secure and require certification. Hand-held phones and portable radios provide personal communication and portability, but can’t be used in aircraft or tactical vehicles because of high ambient noise levels. Hand-held phones and radios are also inconvenient to use when the hands are required for other tasks. Flightcell Pro provides the leap forward in communications integration by simultaneously connecting one or more complementary communications options into a military headset whilst remaining connected to the aircraft or vehicle interphone (ICS) and radios.

Flightcell Pro simultaneously interfaces virtually any phone or tactical radio into a military headset or ICS, providing a rapidly deployed solution to the constant need for reliable, point-to-point communications.

When used with an Iridium 9505 satellite phone and encryption module, Flightcell Pro provides secure global communications at any altitude, regardless of background noise levels. The user remains connected to aircraft or vehicle radios and has the option of providing incoming phonecalls or radio transmissions to all crew via the ICS.

Features & functions

• Master volume control adjusts all inputs and outputs simultaneously.
• Individual inputs and outputs can be adjusted to optimize audio levels.
• Isolate function allows phone and radio to be isolated while user is talking on ICS.
• Optional cable allows second user full access to connected communications or other audio devices.
• Optional injector cable allows incoming phone or radio audio to be provided to all crew via ICS, or to a second headset.v
• Flightcell also doubles as a portable, dual VOX two-place intercom, and supports the connection of a second headset via an optional cable.
• LC Display indicates battery status, volumes, menu settings and connection states.

Power Options

Flightcell Pro can be powered by an internal rechargeable battery with up to 40 hours operation - or operate and/or recharge battery from aircraft DC power supply:

• 110V or 220V AC (with supplied power adaptor)
• 9-32V DC from vehicle or aircraft power

Interfaced devices

Flightcell can be used to interface virtually any communications or audio device:

• Satellite phones – Flightcell is optimized for the Iridium 9505
• Cellphones
• Hand-held radios, including tactical radios
• Audio recorders and cameras
• Other audio sources - for example an iPod/CD/MP3 player, laptop computer or specialised audio monitoring equipment.

Flightcell can double as a portable, dual VOX two-place intercom in aircraft without radios.

Secure Communication

The Iridium 9505 satellite phone used with the encryption module provides secure global communications to Tempest (TS) level. Flightcell now enables the benefits of this secure link to be extended to operational aircraft and other military vehicles.
