IMP Aerospace & Defence, working with the Canadian Forces, selected Axnes’ PNG wireless intercom system (WICS) for the CH-149 Cormorant search-and-rescue aircraft upgrade project. The CH-149 is the Canadian Forces designation for the AgustaWestland AW101.

WICS, which includes BST50 base stations and MP50 dual-band handheld transceivers, enables uninterrupted communication between the onboard crew, ground personnel, and search-and-rescue (SAR) teams. According to Axnes, the system improves situational awareness and assists with making quick decisions during missions.
