, QinetiQ has integrated a civil satellite communications system into a number of MOD Joint Helicopter Force (JHC) assets, as part of an in-theatre Urgent Operational Requirement (UOR) programme. The requirement was to deliver beyond line of sight (BLOS) voice communications capabilities that allow deployed JHC assets to simply and efficiently communicate with operational headquarters.
In just 8-12 weeks (depending on the platform) QinetiQ, working closely with the Identification and Communication Equipment (ICE) Integrated Project Team (IPT), went from the initial meeting to delivering this operational solution. The various stages included the initial feasibility study, investigating technical options, then recommending and deploying the optimum BLOS technology to meet the capability enhancement requirements, across the identified aircraft variants.
