About the Vehicle Intercommication System (VIS)
The Vehicular Intercommunication System (VIS) provides clear, noise-free communications between crew members inside combat vehicles and externally over as many as six combat net radios. AN/VIC-3 was developed and qualified for the Army as the new standard intercom and a direct replacement for use in all AN/VIC-1 equipped vehicles. Selecting from the broad range of modules, headsets and cabling, VIS can be tailored to accommodate virtually any vehicle application. The active noise reduction features of VIS provide significant improvement in speech intelligibility, hearing protection and vehicle crew performance. Extended system reliability and availability results through advanced design, built-in test, continuous performance monitoring and ease of maintenance.
