Easily installed and operated, the SVIC System provides crisp, clear, full duplex intercommunications among crewmembers. A single crew volume control knob provides a full 28dB range of listening volume adjustment. The system provides DC power through the crew member connection ports to enable the use of Active Noise Reduction (ANR) equipped headgear. A basic system accommodates up to four crewmembers, and multiple systems can be interconnected to provide additional crewmember capacity.

SVIC is compatible with most military and commercial radios. Radio transmit levels, receive levels and PTT keying schemes can be adjusted during installation. Radio access can also be configured separately for each crewmember during installation to enable or disable transmit and receive capabilities over a connected radio system. When more than one crewmember has radio transmit enabled, SVIC provides Commander Radio Transmit Priority which interrupts other crewmembers' transmissions should the commander key up the radio. Radio capability can be expanded to additional radios through the use of a separate radio switchbox.

SVIC complies with numerous Military Specifications and Standards including Mil-Std-461C and Mil-Std-810. In addition to the SVIC Intercom systems, TEA offers a variety of headset styles that are helmet compatible to suit most field requirements including hearing protection (with and without ANR) and talk-through circuits.
