Hands-Free Audio Video Capturing and Transcribing Transmission System (HAVCATTS)
ITT’s Hands-Free Audio Video Capturing and Transcribing
Transmission System (HAVCATTS) is the newest in ITT technology
combining TASERTM International’s AXONTM audio and video
capabilities with the ITT SpearNet radio. This innovative merging
of technologies enables the end user to focus on their mission
while simultaneously capturing it in digital video and audio.
Now medical personnel, overt human military intelligence
gatherers, special operations organizations and other essential
personnel are able to document vital activities in real time while
on-the-move.
ITT’s HAVCATTS two-in-one system provides medics with handsfree capabilities to capture, transcribe and transmit complete
wounded warrior medical treatment events. Depending on
distance, ITT’s networking SpearNet radio then provides the
transmission path from the dismounted medic to the medical
evaluation vehicle, as well as while en route to Combat
Aid Stations or Combat Support Hospitals thus providing
telemedicine support from medical staff to medics.
Using HAVCATTS with ITT’s Global Network On The Move – Active
Distribution (GNOMAD) system enables dismounted medics and
medical evacuation vehicles to support medics with on-the-move
telemedicine support from medical staff located at Combat Aid
Stations, Combat Support Hospitals and Medical Treatment
Facilities within the area of operations.
HAVCATTS assists organizations in providing effective training
feedback from internship, cross training, on-the-job, crime scene
investigation and incident response teams, among others, by
allowing trainees to record and transcribe their actions. This
enables training evaluators to provide positive feedback in both
one-on-one and group assessments.
ITT’s HAVCATTS solution provides a squad level network solution
supporting voice, video, position location information and data
throughput up to 1.5 Mbps. HAVCATTS can extend IP data
networks within a Forward Operating Base (FOB), provide an
interim base surveillance system, checkpoint monitoring and
surveillance system.

ITT’s next generation UHF radio
Today’s dismounted Soldier needs
compact and secure networked
communications that are not limited
by traditional radio frequency line of
sight. SpearNet Team Member Radio is
a 21st century communications system
bringing voice, Situational Awareness
(SA) and inter-networking access that
surpasses traditional point-to-point
communication system limitations on
range and data rate.
Wireless integration
SpearNet’s mobile ad hoc network
provides voice, integrated GPS with SA
reporting and data transfer (100 - 1500
Kbps) across dismounted networks
spanning 6 km. SpearNet maintains
voice and data communications within
difficult environments such as tunnels,
ship cargo holds, fast moving vehicles
and buildings.
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)/Voice over Internet
Protocol (VoIP) networks
SpearNet includes SIP/VoIP for interconnection with telephone
networks. SIP provides the ability, when connected with a
backhaul such as SATCOM and a SIP server, for the deployed
Soldier to speak directly and securely with his in-country
commanders. Also available are high speed data transfer (>1
Mbps for video surveillance or mission plans) and selectable GPS
position reporting.
IP infrastructure
Simple to use, lightweight and robust, this radio works using
an IP infrastructure communication system. SpearNet can
be configured as an Internet Protocol version (IPv4) router
connecting its RF, Ethernet and USB interfaces to allow
seamless interconnection of IP compliant computers, sensors,
cameras and other tactical networks. Each radio is AES 256bit encrypted, providing each individual Soldier with secure
communications from any potential enemy.
Mobile ad hoc networking (MANET)
SpearNet is a MANET radio, which maximizes net coverage at all
times, especially in urban environments and conditions where
normal one-hop/point-to-point radios are unable to maintain
coherent network coverage. Being a low latency multi-hop
radio means that the range is only required to the next Soldier.
Having multiple active SpearNet radios creates a network
and consequently the range is extended. The Soldier does
not need to manually update the radio; it is self-healing and
rapidly updates the network as connectivity changes. This is
transparent to the individual Soldier who can concentrate on his
primary task without the worry of a ‘no-comms’ scenario.
Video Streaming
SpearNet has a proven high speed data capability which can
provide real-time video streaming and can even allow for
satellite or aerial imagery to be sent to individuals. Connecting
a PDA or laptop will allow the Soldier to view updated images
supporting what he is actually seeing with his own eyes. This
can assist with rapid tactical decision making when timing is
critical.
SpearNet Vehicular Mount (SNVM)
Mounted forces can also benefit from Spearnet with a 20W
power amplifier vehicle adapter. This significantly increases
the point-to-point and overall networking range of the radio
system. Testing has shown a minimum of 8 km point-to-point
range with SNVM. Sustained links of up to 16 km have been
demonstrated. A networking range of 40 – 60 km can be
expected with properly placed relays. The SNVM contains two
Ethernet, one USB, a vehicular intercom, vehicular loudspeaker,
and remote control unit interfaces.
SpearNet transmits real-time video for mission critical operations.
This keeps commanders off-site visually aware as events unfold on
the battlefield.
Small and lightweight, SpearNet provides dismounted forces
with Situational Awareness to identify all friendly forces within
the area.
Mounted and dismounted operations benefit from SpearNet’s
ability to interface with SATCOM further extending the range of
this system.
Whether inside the hull of a ship, underground in a tunnel, or
within a building, SpearNet provides trusted coverage in these
difficult locations.
