How many channels does the Defender system support?

The Defender system is specifically designed to support a robust communication environment, which includes the ability to handle multiple channels simultaneously. It supports up to eight channels, allowing for effective coordination and communication across various operational scenarios. This multi-channel capability is vital for ensuring that crew members can communicate clearly and efficiently in complex situations, where multiple conversations may be occurring at once, such as in search and rescue missions or during emergency responses.

By supporting eight channels, the Defender system enhances situational awareness and ensures that essential information can be relayed without interference, making it a crucial element in maintaining safety and operational effectiveness on the water.
