Secure tactical radio for peacekeeping forces

Secure tactical radio for peacekeeping forces

FMV, the Swedish Defense Materiel Administration, has placed an additional order
for Sectra's crypto for secure tactical radio. The encryption is used by Swedish
peacekeeping forces to protect radio communications from eavesdropping. The
order is worth SEK 8 million.

Sectra's voice crypto for tactical radio protects radio communications between
vehicles and troops in the field from eavesdropping. The crypto product is
flexible and protects communication over the radio networks Ra 180 and Ra 1512
as well as over IP-based tactical networks. The ordered crypto products will be
delivered by summer 2010.

“Encryption of defense secrets entails the protection of life and ensures that
military forces are able to successfully complete their peacekeeping missions.
Sectra provides the Swedish Defense and its task forces with easy-to-use crypto
products that protect and increase the efficiency of communications,” says
Michael Bertilsson, President of Sectra Communications.

The Swedish Defense is investing in communications security. Swedish-led forces,
such as the Nordic Battle Group, use Sectra Tiger XS for secure IP telephony in
command positions and Sectra's crypto product for tactical radio for secure
communications between military forces. During 2009, FMV also ordered
integration of these various crypto systems to facilitate secure communications
directly between headquarters and troops in the field.
