KOFA™ – C4I Communication Framework
KOFA™ is our trademark and stands for "Kommunikations- und Führungsanlage."
This communication solution is compliant with the EUROCAE ED-137 standard and can therefore be used in various live applications as well as in conjunction with ED-137 devices from other manufacturers. Furthermore, the system also forms a powerful simulation component that efficiently routes and connects all audio and video data. In addition to the integration of TV>IP™ solutions, it also enables real-time voice processing, thereby completing required system solutions.
Through individual configurations of the communication system solution, customized overall concepts can be created to meet specific requirements.
Advantages of KOFA™-LIVE:
- Availability of radio gateways for connecting analog radios to the ED-137 network
- Connection to standardized network infrastructures such as PSTN, GSM, 5G or LAN/WAN
- Encryption mechanisms for secure end-to-end integrity
- Availability of military variants for a red/black separation
Advantages of KOFA™-SIM
- Realistic radio communication simulation
- Half-duplex support (collision/summation/priority)
- Support for jamming/background noise/fading
- Flexible failure injection system for training stimulation
- Audio handling with minimal latency for optimal synchronization
- Monitoring function of all audio channels or participants
- Support for virtual roles/positions
Technical Functions and Operational Advantages:
- API/SW library for effective customer solutions
- Server/client architecture (COTS/MIL products)
- OS (Windows/Linux) and system (Intel/ARM) independent implementation
- Real-time audio and video streaming integration (TV>IP™ - multicast solution)
- Offline voice processing component for enhanced GUI control (VPS)
- Synchronized recording and playback system
- Standardized command interface (CPDLC – Controller Pilot Data Link Communication stack)
