  1. TETRA in use by the Military K.-H. (Charly) Hengevoß Board Member TETRA MoU Association

  2. Agenda • The National TETRA concept of the Finish Defence Force • Deployable TETRA systems on the military battlefield • Simulation of realistic combat using TETRA network • Italian Navy using TETRA on-board a ship • Why Future Military Systems will use TETRA

  3. Agenda • The National TETRA concept of the Finish Defence Force • Deployable TETRA systems on the military battlefield • Simulation of realistic combat using TETRA network • Italian Navy using TETRA on-board a ship • Why Future Military Systems will use TETRA

  4. The National TETRA concept of the Finish Defence Force • Use of communication with other security authoritirs • In peace time, end terminals are delivered for selected users- in accordance with the readiness requirements- for troops training and experience purposes- for safety communications in live firing exercises • In time of crisis TETRA will be used for Command and Control of- military police activities- close area communications in important bases, such as air bases- protection of crucial objects- defence material deployment

  5. TETRA use in Finish Defence Forces

  6. TETRA System and Telecom Networks of FINDEF

  7. Examples of TETRA Sub Networks within Military Action/Operation C2 Network Guarding Units Network Military Medical Network Liaison Officers Network Military Police Network Transport Control Network Authority Cooperation Network

  8. Agenda • The National TETRA concept of the Finish Defence Force • Deployable TETRA systems on the military battlefield • Simulation of realistic combat using TETRA network • Italian Navy using TETRA on-board a ship • Why Future Military Systems will use TETRA

  9. Deployable TETRA systems on the military battlefield Deployable TETRA systems are used by • The Norwegian Army • The Swedish Army • The Finish Army • The Italian Army • The Brazilian Army • ….

  10. Norways Deployable TETRA systems on the military battlefield

  11. First Step of Norwegian Military TETRA Procurement of a COTS product, especially ”developed” for support elements focusing interoperability, fleet management and ”asset tracking”. • Main objectives • Quick deployment • Lightweight and low volume - Air transportable - Limited platform space • Ease of maintenance, fault repair and configuration - Cause limited time to educate personnel - Remote maintenance • Operations and operation areas differ • Scalability / Modularity • Infrastructure flexibility (star-ring-drop-insert) • Capacity • Functionality Project cooperation between NDLO CIS & Norwegian Army Signals

  12. Voice recorder, SDS- and voice- mailboxes Switch, interfaces and dispatcher Base station in fall-back mode Terminals in DMO and REP System availability Terminals in DMO Equipment usage

  13. Equipment preperations as part of the ”high readiness”

  14. Network Experiences • In early stage of operation base station in fall-back mode • Program only one LA in terminal • Terminal tends to make hand-over to other cells if the coverage areas overlap Standardize as far as possible network configuration • Only one omni antenna used (duplexer) • Easier and quicker installation COTS in variable climate zones • Equipment must be protected, dust, heat humidity Fleet mapping • Make it simple, but efficient for the mission • Pre-programmed before deployment

  15. User Experience ... So far • Young ”mobile generation” • TETRA as part of a “high readiness/ base camp system” • Rough conditions with 24/7 use, battery and auxiliary equipment • Terminal range • Voice vs data services • - Fleet management and “asset tracking” • - GPS tracking

  16. Agenda • The National TETRA concept of the Finish Defence Force • Deployable TETRA systems on the military battlefield • Simulation of realistic combat using TETRA network • Italian Navy using TETRA on-board a ship • Why Future Military Systems will use TETRA

  31. Agenda • The National TETRA concept of the Finish Defence Force • Deployable TETRA systems on the military battlefield • Simulation of realistic combat using TETRA network • Italian Navy using TETRA on-board a ship • Why Future Military Systems will use TETRA

  32. Military Programs considering TETRA as part of integrated communication solution • The Theatre Independent Tactical Army and Air Force Network (TITAAN) from the Netherlands Armed Forces • The Finish Software Radio Programme from the Finish Defense Forces Telecommunication Laboratory and Centre of Wireless Communications • C4ISR Framework from the US Army CEDECOM Security Assistance for utilizing US grant funds

  33. Why these and other military programs consider TETRA • The current features of TETRA- Direct Mode Operation (DMO)- Emergency call- Fast call setup • And the features of the evolution version of TETRA- enhanced data rates- roaming with other Networks TETRA is exceptionally advantageous radio access network in upcoming multinational peacekeeping and crises management operations

  34. Thank you for your attention
