Abstract
Analog Intercom System provides one-to-one communication, there was
distortion and signal loss in analog system Also, there was no proper control
over the volume and frequencies. Digital Intercommunication System is
implemented. It provides secure and jam resistant voice/data communication
from air to ground and air to air in Very High Frequency/Ultra High
Frequency Bands (V/UHF). The main purpose of this system is to provide
inter communication among the flight crew .It also has the facility to
communication with ground crew through an external jack during
maintenance operation whenever required. It is a central control for all
communication equipment mounted on ALH .It interfaces with various radio
channels, warning and other audio outputs. It facilitates to communicate
among crew members of ALH as well as with air traffic control (ATC) and
other helicopter.

I. INTRODUCTION
The main purpose of the system is to provide inter-communication among the flight
crew. Intercommunication is provided through three station boxes one each for pilot,
co-pilot and two passengers. It is a central control for all communication equipment
mounted on ALH. It interfaces with various radio channels, warnings and other audio
