SubscribeND SatCom to deliver turnkey Tactical Satcom System to the Swedish Armed Forces
ND SatCom, a leading global provider of satellite-based communication network solutions for commercial and defence applications, has won a contract to supply a turnkey tactical satellite communications system with related services for use within the network of the Swedish Armed Forces. The contract, with a volume of approximately € 5 Mio, was won in strong international competition. The delivery and implementation of an initial six units will take place in 2005/2006.
The Tactical Satcom System (TSS) is based on ND SatCom’s proven technology for defence customers. It offers, besides classical telephony, also fax and data services and seamless IP network interconnection, even under extreme environmental conditions. The various types of transportable tactical satellite communications terminals will secure the connection between Sweden and the regional headquarters of international missions via military or commercial satellites in C-, X- and Ku-band.
The system is highly modular; easy to deploy FlyAway antenna systems are packed for transport in specifically designed cases, whereas the shelter-based “Pop-up” units are supplied with a mounted, fully automatic, motorized antenna. The baseband equipment is transported and operated in climate-controlled cases which enable operation of commercial of-the-shelf (COTS) communications equipment within a harsh tactical environment. “Sweden is one of the leading nations in the process of military transformation. Our proven technology will provide reliable communications links for the Network Centric Operations Framework of the Swedish Armed Forces” says Harald Reder, CEO of ND SatCom Defence.
