Advancing Tactical Communications for Over 40 Years
Communications-Applied Technology, C-AT, designs and manufactures communication systems for military, federal, public safety, emergency response, tactical vehicle, and hazardous operational environments.
Our systems connect people, radios, vehicles, dispatch centers, and operational teams when standard communication paths are unavailable, incompatible, or insufficient.
C-AT develops rugged, configurable systems that support immediate communication, integration with fielded equipment, and long-term operational use.
Mission requirements rarely fit inside a standard product specification.
For more than four decades, C-AT has worked with military organizations, federal agencies, public safety departments, OEMs, vehicle manufacturers, and system integrators to solve complex communication problems.
We provide both standard product configurations and custom-engineered communication systems designed around:
Our focus remains the same:
Deliver communication systems that work immediately, integrate cleanly, and support the mission over the long term.
Every operational environment is different.
Different radios.
Different vehicles.
Different agencies.
Different users.
Different communication networks.
Different operational objectives.
C-AT systems are modular, adaptable, and configured around the equipment, mission, and operating environment of each customer.
We support:
When a standard system fits, we provide it.
When it does not, C-AT engineers a solution that does.
C-AT designs and manufactures:
Our systems enable otherwise disconnected radios, networks, vehicles, and users to operate within a coordinated communication environment.
The ICRI is a modular radio interoperability system that connects otherwise incompatible communication platforms.
ICRI systems can integrate:
The ICRI is designed for planned operations, emergency response, multi-agency coordination, continuity events, and infrastructure-failure scenarios.
Its modular, stackable architecture enables agencies to configure the system around the number of radios, devices, talk groups, and operational roles required for the incident.
No dependence on the Internet. No radio reprogramming. No recurring subscription required for baseline interoperability.
ICRI systems are preconfigured for the intended radios and devices so users can connect equipment and establish interoperability quickly.
C-AT also develops custom ICRI configurations for unique radio, dispatch, SATCOM, and network requirements.
C-AT ComForce is a radio-agnostic and headset-agnostic tactical vehicle intercom system designed for armored, tactical, convoy, and mission vehicles.
ComForce connects crew members and multiple radios into one controlled communication environment inside the vehicle.
Each crew position uses an individual Intercom Control Unit that enables:
ComForce supports integration with:
Available configurations include:
ComForce systems are configured around the vehicle platform, crew structure, radio environment, and operational requirement.
C-AT also develops custom vehicle communication configurations when standard systems do not fully meet the requirement.
The C-AT Wireless Intercom System, WIS, is a hands-free, full-duplex safety communication system for personnel working inside protective equipment and hazardous operational environments.
WIS supports communication during:
The system is designed for use with protective equipment including:
WIS enables continuous two-way communication without requiring the operator to press a push-to-talk button or compromise the protective seal of the suit.
Key Capabilities
WIS is more than an intercom.
It is a personnel safety communication system designed to maintain team coordination while operators work under protective conditions.
When traditional communication paths become unavailable, C-AT can extend Land Mobile Radio communications over satellite networks to maintain coordination between field teams and command.
C-AT supports integration with commercial and government satellite transport options, including configurations using:
These solutions bridge local radio systems to remote operations centers without requiring replacement of existing radio infrastructure.
Designed for
Key Benefits
Extended Communication Reach
Expand LMR communication beyond terrestrial coverage using satellite transport.
Infrastructure Independence
Maintain communication when cellular, microwave, or local radio infrastructure is unavailable or compromised.
Configured for the Mission
C-AT configures LMR-to-SATCOM solutions around the radios, transport network, operational authority, security requirements, and mission environment.
Natural disasters, remote deployments, military operations, and multi-agency incidents can disrupt cellular service, network connectivity, and local communication infrastructure.
C-AT designs modular communication systems that connect radios, dispatch centers, vehicles, and satellite networks so operational teams can maintain coordination when conventional communication paths are unavailable.
Replacing operational equipment can add cost, time, training requirements, and integration risk.
C-AT integrates fielded radios, dispatch audio, SATCOM, mesh networks, tactical systems, vehicle communications, and emerging technologies into practical operational configurations.
This enables organizations to expand communication capability without discarding equipment that already performs its mission.
C-AT systems are designed for real operational environments.
Our solutions support:
C-AT systems integrate with fielded equipment, support communication modernization, and can be configured around the platform, users, operating environment, and mission
Mission requirements evolve. Communication systems must be able to evolve with them.
C-AT develops modular, durable systems for military, federal, public safety, industrial, and hazardous operations.
Solutions are available in standard configurations or can be custom engineered for:
Designed and manufactured in the United States
Configured for the mission
Supported throughout the system lifecycle
Field teams need communication systems that are straightforward to deploy and operate.
Program managers, communications personnel, OEMs, and system integrators also need systems that can be evaluated, installed, supported, and scaled.
C-AT addresses both requirements.
Straightforward to Deploy
Systems are configured before delivery to reduce field setup and simplify implementation.
Intuitive to Operate
Physical controls and practical workflows reduce operator workload in tactical, vehicle, emergency-response, and hazardous environments.
Built to Integrate
Radio-agnostic and headset-agnostic systems support existing LMR, tactical radio, SATCOM, mesh, dispatch, and vehicle communication architectures.
Custom When the Requirement Demands It
C-AT provides standard systems when they fit and custom-engineered communication solutions when they do not.
C-AT is known for:
