ICAS is a smart solution that integrates the antennas needed for
the many different VHF-, UHF- and wideband communications
services used on modern naval ships into one single antenna
suite. As such, it can be used in Integrated Mast configurations
and is highly scalable; the included functions can be tailored
to the Customer’s needs.
