Rohde & Schwarz supplies end-to-end communications for mission control that meets high security standards required for a Belgian air component air surveillance and defense command centre. The R&S M4ACS is a field-proven solution that separates red/secure from black/non-secure domains and enables a military air traffic control (here air defense control – ADC) operator at air operations control centre to connect with any radio anywhere at any time. The Belgian Ministry of Defense now operates this future-proof, full IP (internet protocol) communications system.
The scope of delivery includes one redundant system with over 43 controller working positions. The architecture uses redundant, secure components for classified and unclassified domains. Each domain is configured with necessary number of radios and telephone interfaces. The two domains are separated down to each controller working position, where an audio switch ensures security level at controller headset.
“We were happy to work with a trusted partner like Rohde & Schwarz Competence Center for VCS in Bucharest and benefited from the company’s knowledge and expertise. We rely on state-of-the-art Rohde & Schwarz solutions for safety, security and efficiency in all mission-critical domains.” says Yves Colot, representative of the Belgian MoD.
“Customer feedback was very positive and they were very satisfied with speed at which needs were met and new requests implemented. I would like to thank everyone involved, especially the members of the joint customer project team.” says Alexandru Negulescu, managing director of the Rohde & Schwarz Competence Centre for VCS in Bucharest.
