  1. Military use of TETRA Dr Michael Street Chair, Working Group 5 (Voice Coding), ETSI TC TETRA Principal Scientist, NATO C3 Agency Michael.Street @ nc3a.nato.int

  2. Why is the military using TETRA ? Where is TETRA being used by the military ? TETRA in the wider military CIS architecture Role of TETRA for Civil-Military Cooperation Effect of frequency allocation on military use of TETRA ? Introduction

  3. Why TETRA ? • Military role has changed • Peace-keeping and Peace-support • Crisis response • Disaster relief • Composition of forces has changed • increasingly multi-service, multi-national • Military budgets have changed

  4. TETRA Services • Services • comparable to Combat Net Radio • Spectrum • Operates in Military UHF band • Spectrally efficient - Military UHF allocation is mainly 25kHz • Security • Must meet national security requirements

  5. TETRA … • Developed for Public Safety & Security • Has C3 features • Meets S3 requirements : • services, spectrum, security • Developed for a large, security conscious user group • COTS / GOTS equipment

  6. National defence forces have TETRA systems in Bulgaria, Finland, France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway … Military using public safety systems in Belgium, Finland, UK … Exercises Combined Endeavour, Strong Resolve, Cooperative Partner, Dynamic Response, Steadfast Cathode … Operationally, by nations in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq .. Where is military TETRA ?

  7. Civil-military cooperation a high priority Many cases in disaster relief / crisis response CIMIC now planned Cooperationrequirescommunication Usually at short notice Public safety TETRA + Military TETRA . = Cooperative communication TETRA in Civil-Military Cooperation

  8. Civil Military Cooperation (CIMIC) • Changing security environment • Increased need for CIMIC – aka “civil assistance”

  9. Civil Military Cooperation Trials • Experimentation between • public safety (NL Police – C2000) • national military (RNLAF – MotelAF) • and NATO (NC3A – TES II)

  10. Civil Military Cooperation Trials ü ü ü ü ü • Network interconnections • Different scales • Gateways – Fast, limited • Back to back repeaters • Guest network access - Seamless • Authentication mechanisms • Security support – AIE and E2E

  11. CIMIC trial summary • Civil and military must plan together • Military working with ETSI • Using the same standard is good • Sharing comms assets is quick • No training for users – keep the terminal they know • Pre-planning enhance CIMIC capability • Authentication • Key sharing for Air interface and End-to-End Encryption • Enable full services, quickly

  12. TETRA in the military CIS architecture • Network Enabled Capability • Uses “Networked Information Infrastructure” • More networking, more nations, more mobility • Wireless architecture for communication and information services • TETRA will be a part of this • For CIMIC • For many military operations

  13. Software Defined Radio • SDR can support many standards in one radio • Software Communications Architecture (SCA) • Very capable – to meet military needs • Very ‘heavy’ –not for public safety or commercial use • Military need to interoperate with civil, not vice versa • SCA compliant TETRA waveform in development • Swedish-US joint project • Software turns a military radio into a TETRA terminal

  14. Future plans: Deployment options • Scalable system • Options available for providing service and coverage • Repeaters  local SwMI • Military deployment • NATO Exercises in ‘06 • Rapid deployment • Repair holes, not plug gaps

  15. NATO Secure CommunicationsInteroperability Protocol • Interoperable security anywhere

  16. Secure communications on any network • Major, multi-national programme • SCIP programmes in Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Norway, UK, Netherlands, Turkey, Canada, US … • Products in development from Thales, EADS, Selex, Sagem, Rhode & Schwarz, Kongsberg, Technobit, GD, Harris, L-3, Cisco, Qualcomm, Electromagnetica …. • Supported by civil government, military, industry • SCIP products developing for many networks, inc. TETRA

  17. A changing environment for NATO • NATO Response Force, Network Enabled Capability, SCIP, SDR, COTS … • New NATO wireless architecture • To exploit new technology • To provide wireless security • To be interoperable • Future will be a “network of networks” • Fixed and mobile ; commercial, civil and military • TETRA is one of these networks

  18. Why TETRA ? • Meets user requirements þ • Ease of deployment þ • Civil – military use þ • Security þ • A key network þ

  19. Final words Deployable Interoperable Secure Telecommunications DziękujęThank you
