Vehicle intercom systems

Most armoured vehicles are equipped with an intercom system that allows voice communication between all occupants by retransmitting speech through internal headsets.

  • Most vehicles provide at least two intercom channels: Crew and Cargo.
  • Some vehicles, especially older types or those without passenger space, may only have a single shared channel.
  • When first entering a vehicle, the Cargo channel is selected by default.
  • Passengers should remain on the Cargo channel unless instructed otherwise.
  • Vehicle crew should switch to the Crew channel to prevent interference from passenger communications.

Vehicle crew radio best practice

  • Maintain clear and consistent communication within the crew and with your higher element at all times.
  • Program both radios: use the Short Range (SR) for internal crew comms and the Long Range (LR) for communication with your higher element.
  • Keep the SR radio ready and correctly configured, so it can be used immediately when dismounted.
  • When dismounted, use SR radios to stay in contact with the rest of the crew and higher elements.

Report vehicle damage

Communicate “[part of the vehicle] DISABLED” to the other crewmembers. Example: “GUN DISABLED”
