ALTAIRTactical field communications software

Bring field information onto a shared map and team communications into one application.

ALTAIR is a tactical software solution focused on field teams using position, task and observation information in a shared interface. Map, messaging and voice communications flows are addressed according to the mission structure. Device selection and network connectivity are evaluated together with the environment in which the application will be used.

WHAT IT DOES

Without a shared picture in the field,
coordination gets harder.

Field teams often learn each other's positions verbally over the radio, which leads to lost time and misunderstandings.

As teams spread out, it becomes harder to track who is where, which area has been checked and where a threat has been seen. The problem grows in areas without central infrastructure or where the connection is lost.

ALTAIR shares each user's position automatically, marks detections on the map and brings voice and text communications onto the same screen. Devices can connect to each other directly and share information even without infrastructure.

KEY FEATURES

Six core capabilities
for field coordination.

01

Shared tactical map

Military symbols, drawing tools, layers and offline maps.

02

Position tracking

Automatic, periodic sharing of team members' positions (friendly force tracking).

03

Push-to-talk voice

In-app group channels and one-to-one voice calls.

04

Reports and messaging

Ready-made report templates, text messages, photo and file sharing.

05

Disconnected operation

Direct (mesh) connection between devices; pending data is delivered automatically when a connection returns.

06

Interoperability

Open interfaces for integration with radios, unmanned systems and sensors.

PRODUCT FAMILY

Three modules,
one application.

The modules run within the same application; they can be licensed together or separately according to the organization's needs.

ALTAIR Voice

Push-to-talk voice communications

Group and one-to-one voice communications from within the application; bridging with radio networks.

  • Group channels
  • Priority calls
  • Radio gateway support
  • External PTT button

ALTAIR Mesh

Messaging and sharing without infrastructure

Device-to-device message, task and file sharing without a base station or central server.
