  1. TETRA Applications for Military Communications Radio Branch NATO Command, Control & Consultation Agency NATO UNCLASSIFIED IDENTIFICATION

  2. Does TETRA meet military requirements ? What trails have the military done with TETRA applications ? Does TETRA Security meet military requirements ? How will frequency allocation affect military use of TETRA ? Introduction NATO UNCLASSIFIED

  3. NC3A PCS Study • Study all available Personal Communications Systems • terrestrial, satcom, COTS & GOTS • Evaluate for use against a detailed scenario • Match for suitability • different users e.g. military, policing, NGOs, VSOs • different applications e.g. location, data, video • different tasks e.g. liaison, reconnaissance • different phases e.g. initial deployment to long-term peace support NATO UNCLASSIFIED IDENTIFICATION

  4. Digital PMR/PAMR for Military Use • TETRA, Tetrapol, iDEN, … • Developed for Public Safety & Security consequently several features interesting for military C3 (ops & adm) • Digital trunking enables integration of voice via ISDN • Security • Link (air interface) encryption of voice, data & signalling • Authentication of radios and in some cases the network • End-to-end security for voice. (Not currently available in all systems. • Frequency - Military UHF Band.. NATO UNCLASSIFIED

  5. Combat Net Radio - like Features • Group Communication • Fast call set up, relative to GSM (300 msec typical for local area calls) • All informed half-duplex nets (i.e. broadcast and multicast) available • Direct Mode (Mobile to Mobile, no infrastructure) • Gateways, repeaters (standard mobiles can function as repeaters to extend mobile coverage) • Emergency & Incident handling • Call priorities & preemption • “Emergency” button • Dispatching (Net Control Station - Directed Nets) NATO UNCLASSIFIED

  6. Applications • Location services • patrols, logistics, • Messaging • commanders, logistics • policing, compound security • status messages, VIN checks • Data services • file transfer, COP • liaison, command net, logistics updates • Video • VTC for liaison • tele-medicine • reconnaissance • Speech Services • Talkgroups • patrols, compound security • logistics • Conference Calls • command net • liaison, high quality • Priority and Pre-emption • Interconnection / Interoperability • PSTN (if there is one) • Military networks NATO UNCLASSIFIED

  7. Security • End to End • Integral for voice • where for applications ? • Authentication • spoofing, denial of service • Air Interface Encryption • Key management • Key load, OTAK NATO UNCLASSIFIED

  8. Security in TETRA Standards • Mutual authentication over the air interface between Mobile and Infrastructure • Encryption • Air interface encryption between Mobile and Infrastructure • End-to-end encryption • Flexible groups call encryption • Anonymity of terminals over the air interface • Secure disabling and enabling of terminals • Encryption (4) and authentication (1) algorithms • Secure over the air re-keying (OTAR) NATO UNCLASSIFIED

  9. NC3A TETRA Evaluation System NATO UNCLASSIFIED

  10. Demonstration Concept • Demonstrate the potential role of TETRA in extending NATO voice & data networks to mobile/portable users • Demonstrate voice access from fixed system to mobile users through PABX at NC3A • Demonstrate unique TETRA voice services including: • Rapid call setup • Group calls • Priority calls • Demonstrate data applications from mobile notebook host through TETRA mobile radio terminal including: • COP feed from CWAN to portable host running C2PC software • E-mail & web access from portable host NATO UNCLASSIFIED

  11. TETRA / Autoko trials AUTOKO - German Army tactical comms Speech interoperability NATO UNCLASSIFIED

  14. Frequency Allocation in Europe 380 383 385 390 393 395 400 Public Safety & Security Currently Reserved NATO Military • MoU on common frequency allocation has been signed by most European countries • Some nations sharing allocation and responsibility for public safety and commercial use - operational benefits • Could share military and civil allocations - operational benefits, political risks NATO UNCLASSIFIED

  15. Frequency Allocation • Recent NATO study ranked frequency bands • Looked at existing Military Operational Requirements • UHF is identified as a vital band • No current MOR for PCS • PCS MOR is being developed • Air Working Group, with Land and Maritime WGs • 380 - 400 MHz likely to be even more highly valued NATO UNCLASSIFIED
