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

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 ….

Norways Deployable TETRA systems on the military battlefield

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

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

Equipment preperations as part of the ”high readiness”

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

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

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 Military Programs considering TETRA as part of integrated communication solution

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 Why these and other military programs consider TETRA
