What subsystems make up an emergency command vehicle?

release date:2025-06-28
Deploying a command vehicle requires a multitude of system devices that deal with different business needs. The emergency command vehicle needs to integrate these subsystems to realize complete emergency command operations, which requires a detailed understanding of the various subsystems for better integration.

Audio system


Emergency command vehicles in many cases also assume the role of emergency scene conference room, especially large command vehicles, should be equipped with a comprehensive conference audio system. These audio systems generally include microphones, speakers, amplifiers, mixers, audio processors, feedback suppressors and other equipment.

According to the design drawings of the command vehicle, the configuration meets the needs of the relevant audio products can be, these audio systems can be used as a command vehicle within the local meeting sound reinforcement, but also with the video conferencing system through the video conferencing system as a video conferencing system of the radio and sound reinforcement applications.

Video System


Video system is one of the most important systems on the emergency command vehicle, because at present, whether it is a meeting or command, as well as on-site situational feedback, video is the most important link. The video system also consists of many subsystems. In the past, the command vehicle through the codec plus video matrix way to solve the video problem. But in the current rapid development of video subsystems today, the organization and coordination of the system has become more difficult.

Video command vehicle will generally involve video conferencing, video surveillance, vehicle mounted PTZ, deployment ball, recorder, camera, video phone, drone, robot, streaming media resources, etc., these video resources using different streaming media protocols, different is encoded, has different characteristics, the command vehicle needs to integrate these systems can be better coordinated and command.

Network system


The network system is also a necessary system for the command vehicle, through the deployment of high-performance switching equipment, to provide network connectivity and switching capabilities of the car equipment, according to the need to configure the car WIFI, wireless routers and other equipment to meet the demand for Internet connectivity of the command vehicle. Multi-card aggregation equipment can also be configured to obtain a larger transmission Internet bandwidth.

Satellite Communication System


It is necessary to configure satellite communication equipment on the emergency command vehicle. In emergency situations, satellite communication is the basic guarantee, and large command vehicles can be configured with satellite communication equipment according to the needs, adopting dynamic and static antenna equipment, which can realize the need for Internet access in the procession and the need for Internet access in the static state.

Generally deployed in the command vehicle satellite antenna, feeder, satellite modem equipment. Early equipment is also configured with image encoding equipment, voice gateway equipment, voice link multiplexing equipment and so on. At present, most of the command vehicle has simplified the process, the satellite down only to provide network capacity, other voice equipment, video codec equipment directly through the IP link transmission application can be.

Broadband Communication System 


The command vehicle is generally equipped with a broadband communication system, which is used to provide broadband signal coverage and broadband network communication needs to the emergency site. For example, the video resources at the front end of the command vehicle can be backhauled through the broadband equipment at the site coverage, so that they can be viewed on the command vehicle.

Broadband Ad hoc equipment


At present, the broadband communication equipment configured on the command vehicle is broadband Ad hoc network equipment,  which is characterized by large bandwidth, easy to use, and the  large coverage. Broadband Ad hoc network equipment can be deployed in the command vehicle with a vehicle-mounted system. Then configure several backpack devices, carried by personnel during emergency missions, to establish a network transmission link with the command vehicle at the site

Narrowband Communication System


Walkie-talkie is still the most frequently used communication equipment in the emergency scene, through the deployment of narrowband walkie-talkie equipment on the command vehicle, it can effectively solve the voice communication problem in the emergency scene.

Radios deployed on the command vehicle 


Simple deployment can be deployed in the command vehicle on the deployment of ultra-short-wave car radio, used to command the car and the car outside the personnel intercom communication. Complex situations can also deploy intercom repeater, trunking base station, to the command vehicle as the center to develop a small trunking intercom network, can achieve richer functions. For example, trunk call, message transmission, positioning, etc..

Central control system


Central control system is generally configured in a large command vehicle, to solve the command vehicle on the top light, curtains, air conditioning and other equipment, such as several control, some central control system also integrates voice and video control, generally need to be integrated through the development of the central control system, etc., to facilitate the management of the spatial environment in the car.

Power system


Power system is very critical, a large command vehicle to consider the power of the equipment in the car, as well as access to external utility capacity, to meet the standards of various environments. Especially for the under-voltage, over-voltage protection, to avoid damage to the car equipment.

Command Vehicle Power System


At the same time, we should also consider the configuration of power generation equipment and power storage equipment, the command vehicle has a large number of equipment, the car power is impossible to meet the power supply, the need to configure special power generation equipment, and need to consider the configuration of the UPS, the calculation of the car's equipment, the overall power and power outage operating time.

Auxiliary system


Auxiliary systems also need to consider the command vehicle, such as a variety of lifting bars, cables, air conditioning, police lights, searchlights, sirens and so on, these according to the requirements of the command vehicle, the general vehicle supporting equipment providers have a variety of types of products to choose from.

Emergency command vehicle is a huge system, is a collection of equipment, the above list is part of a large command vehicle environment commonly used subsystems and equipment. Command vehicle according to the size of large and medium-sized points, with slightly different equipment, but the overall subsystems involved in much the same, just deployed in different sizes and forms. Have an understanding of the overall system of the command vehicle can provide convenience for us to deploy the command vehicle project.
