SOTAS consists of a family of modular (and functional) building blocks, and crew boxes, network units and application hosting. These can be configured and scaled for all types of use cases and platforms to compose a system that meets each user need. The systems are based on an open architecture using a high-bandwidth network to connect its subsystems. It allows for the system to facilitate clear speech, advanced and secure data storage and sharing, decision support and offers a powerful infrastructure for various critical services and interfaces.

Sotas Software Applications
SOTAS is a software defined system. This system supports the growing user needs in continuous functional improvements countering today’s threats, while retaining existing hardware components. The current set of SOTAS includes applications such as the SOTAS tactical voice services and tactical networking, but also third-party applications like BMS, Sensor Middleware, Health and Usage Management Systems (HUMS) and Platform Management System (PMS) applications that allow full control of the platform capabilities by the user. |
