Description
The On-Site Inspection (OSI) Communications System is an advanced framework enabling seamless and secure communication during inspections under the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). Designed for rapid deployment, potentially anywhere in the world within six days, it supports real time coordination among inspection team members and between field teams and the Operations Support Centre (OSC) at headquarters. The system is capable of supporting operations across an inspection area of up to 1000 km², even in remote locations with minimal infrastructure. The system leverages state of the art technologies such as broadband satellite platforms, including Starlink and OneWeb, complemented by UHF and VHF radio networks and Iridium satellite phones. These tools ensure robust global coverage, secure data transfer, and reliable voice communication independent of local infrastructure. By incorporating redundancy and overlapping communication methods, the system maintains operational continuity under challenging conditions. With rapid deployment capabilities, the system adheres to the Treaty’s stringent lead time requirements, becoming fully operational within days. Designed to withstand diverse terrains and challenging environments, the OSI Communications System integrates innovative technology and lessons from field exercises, setting a global benchmark in supporting non-proliferation and verification efforts.
