Native Offline Translation
Translator-free communication at the tactical edge
ICE 3.7 takes translation on talk channels to the next level with Dyna® AI, the intelligence engine at the heart of the ICE platform.
ICE now supports fully native, on-prem translation and transcription — no Internet connection or external services required.
This native capability enables seamless, translator-free communication for multilingual teams operating “offline” in remote, contested, or disconnected environments at the tactical edge.
Powered by Dyna® AI — the offline-capable linguistic engine that powers all ICE translation features — ICE 3.7 delivers complete offline language support:
- Speech-to-text
- Translation
- Text-to-speech
ICE-TAK 2.0
A more seamless ATAK experience
Instant Connect’s voice plug-in for the Android Team Awareness Kit (ATAK) continues to gain momentum across defense and mission-critical communities. Combining ICE’s voice capabilities with ATAK’s situational awareness gives warfighters a powerful edge — faster coordination, smarter decisions, and safer outcomes on the front lines.
With ICE-TAK 2.0, that trusted experience is now more streamlined across both tactical and enterprise modes, compatible with all versions of ATAK.
- cleaner interface and simplified layout that reduces clicks and makes key features easier to access
- refreshed look and feel aligned with Instant Connect’s COTS application, creating a consistent user experience across the ICE ecosystem
Developed in collaboration with users, ICE-TAK 2.0 delivers a sharper, more intuitive design that builds on the strengths of its predecessor — improving usability without changing what warfighters already trust.
The result: the same mission-proven capabilities, now faster, cleaner, and even easier to use under pressure.
Tactical Edge Configuration
Faster setup, stronger command under pressure
Managing communications at the edge requires speed, dexterity, and a platforms built for agility and growth. ICE 3.7 delivers on the promise, with a range of enhancements giving field managers and administrators the tools to cope with just about anything.
- Enhanced Security Certificates – Quickly connect ICE servers and clients via Rallypoints to help keep everyone communicating in dynamic tactical environments.
- Bulk Import/Export of user and channel information between servers in a few clicks. When you need to swiftly add or remove combat teams across ICE channels and every second counts, ICE 3.7 gets the job done.
