LSTS is designed and developed to cater for wired voice communication between the Commandant and his battalion with multiple gun posts. The commander will be able to communicate with either one specific post or multiple posts or with all the posts at any point of time. The commander will be able to communicate to 14 such locations and one director gun post for monitoring over a distance of 1000 meters i.e 1Km.
GTUs are sub-units required to be connected to the LSTS. These will be placed near the Guns, so that it is possible to provide communication between the Gun operator and the Commander inside the vehicle. Any one of the GTUs can be used as the Director Unit, but shall be connected to the LTU at the terminals provided for the Director Unit. The GTU is not proposed to be mounted inside the vehicle. These will be kept loose on any table. 15 such GTUs will be provided along with each LSTS.
