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:

  1. Availability of radio gateways for connecting analog radios to the ED-137 network
  2. Connection to standardized network infrastructures such as PSTN, GSM, 5G or LAN/WAN
  3. Encryption mechanisms for secure end-to-end integrity
  4. Availability of military variants for a red/black separation

Advantages of KOFA™-SIM

  1. Realistic radio communication simulation
    1. Half-duplex support (collision/summation/priority)
    2. Support for jamming/background noise/fading
  2. Flexible failure injection system for training stimulation
  3. Audio handling with minimal latency for optimal synchronization
  4. Monitoring function of all audio channels or participants
  5. 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)
