Digital Communications
The modern battlefield is an extremely complex environment where increasingly large amounts of information must flow without interruption, whilst being protected from exploitation or disruption by a technically advanced enemy.
CORMORANT
The Cormorant system is a theatre-deployable communications network for the Joint Task Force Headquarters, (JTFHQ), providing communications support for direct subscribers at Joint Force and other deployed Component Command Headquarters.
Cormorant is a state of the art communications system that offers world-wide deployability and is an integral part of the broader Global Information Infrastructure (GII) concept.
FALCON
The joint tactical trunk communications system for the Land Environment.
It replaced Ptarmigan and uses Internet Protocol technology to provide a high capacity, tactical, formation level secure, communications system for the ARRC, RAF and UK Divisions and Brigades.
It complements, but not duplicates, the capabilities of other systems such as Bowman and Cormorant.
FALCON provides a resilient communications system that is flexible enough to support operations across the full spectrum of conflict, as well as being interoperable within the joint and multinational environment, and with legacy systems.
