Raytheon JPS Communications' ACU-T

With the ACU-T Tactical Intelligent Interconnect System a radio gateway can be rapidly configured and deployed to meet almost any interoperability application involving radios and telephones. Employing proven ACU technology, this lightweight, tactical system is suitable for LMR, P25, TETRA, HF Radio, trunking systems, Nextel, telephones and SATCOM systems. The ACU-T offers the form factor, flexibility and features required for tactical, fixed or vehicular interconnect applications.

The ACU-T's flexible interconnectivity capability provides six connections (radios, telephones and a local operator) to be interconnected in any combination - from three nets of two users each to a single net with all six users connected together all of which can be controlled from a PC or over an Ethernet Network.

NYPD Tests the ACU-T in a Staged, Hostage Environment
During a hostage response effort, the New York City Police Department (NYPD) simply lacked the ability to share information securely with the on-scene officers. They needed a tactical communications solution that would allow the negotiations occurring on the hostage phone to be broadcast over the response team?s radios while not creating additional security risks by allowing those transmissions to be monitored and expose the negotiations.

The NYPD decided to test the ACU-T in a staged, hostage environment. A drill was staged involving a terrorist taking hostages on a ferryboat on the Hudson River during the rush-hour commute, where over 300 passengers would potentially be affected.
