Unique to ICS is the cobra backpack. It consists of a high power UHF or VHF radio, intelligent mains battery charger and 7Ah gel filled battery, all mounted onto a specially fabricated and powder coated aluminium backplate.
The unit weighs less then 5kg and can be used on the move with its integral antenna or mobile in a vehicle with the addition of a magmount or clip on vehicle antenna.
Because of its design it is highly portable. If a vehicle needs to be abandoned, such as in a 'contact' situation, the bag can simply be grabbed and you instantly have a high power portable radio. Traditionally fitted vehicle radios do not provide this flexible capability.
As with other prducts in this family it can incorporate almost any model of radio, the only restriction being its physical size.
Additionally, a solar regulator and small, roll up solar panel can be added to give the ability to charge the battery without the need for mains power.
