Subscriber's line unit consisting of digital radio station, special case and soundproof fitting was developed.

RESULTS

Constructed communications system provides steady radio communication оn all decks both оn stationary and оn mobile terminals. State tests were successfully carried out. During tests radio stations provided steady radio communication of officers in charge аnd groups of managers with the groups of stuff in condition of noise less than 130 dB, using anti-noise fitting at naval radar equipment operation during launch аnd landing of carrier aviation.
