Comprising a private tactical cellular service provided by Harris Fusion 4G long-term evolution (LTE) base stations and ruggedised subscriber terminals, ITACS delivers seamless voice and data services from fixed headquarters to the deployed headquarters, and to tactical units on the battlefield.

"This system dramatically improves situational awareness by creating a mobile tactical Internet that delivers voice, data and video across the battlefield."

Specifically, the system provides a broad spectrum of advanced tactical communication services, including voice over internet protocol (VoIP), teleconferencing, messaging and email, as well as battlefield management and common operational picture applications.

Harris RF Communications International business president Brendan O’Connell said the Harris ITACS enables the country to make a rapid transition to modern, flexible and modular IP-based tactical communications.

The system uses commercial IP technologies to deliver a significant tactical advantage over legacy systems, while supporting the capacity, mobility, survivability and reliability required for modern network centric warfare (NCW).
