Saab subsidiary MEDAV will supply electromagnetic signal-sensors for the first phase of the Brazilian Sisfron programme being carried out by the Brazilian Army. The programme will see an integrated border monitoring system developed across Brazil’s western border, contributing to regional security and fighting cross-border crimes.
MEDAV will deliver stationary as well as mobile remote controlled sensor-stations with monitoring and direction-finding capabilities in the frequency ranges HF, VHF and UHF. A regional centre for Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition, and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) monitoring and a training centre are also included in the contract.
Micael Johansson, head of Electronic Defence Systems, Saab, said: ‘Brazil is one of Saab’s most important markets and this order reinforces our presence and relationship with the country.’
Dr. Hans-Joachim Kolb, managing director, MEDAV, added: ‘This order is further testimony to MEDAV’s proven capability to provide leading solutions for threat detection and localisation. Sisfron is a big project for border security and its success will be highly reliant on the capabilities of technical sensors.’
The contract includes technology transfer by MEDAV. Deliveries under this order will take place between 2013 and 2016.
Clavister CyberArmour, an integrated defence cybersecurity system, will be used on BAE Systems Hägglunds’ CV90 platform in deployments with a Scandinavian country, as well as in an eastern European nation.
The tactical satellite (TacSat) is an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) system and will participate in exercises in 2025.
The airborne three-domain, the two ground-based and the ¼ ATR OpenVPX-based cross-domain systems were engineered to provide real-time security across multi-domain operations.
DARPA’s Mission-Integrated Network Control (MINC) programme was set up to develop an autonomous tactical network and enable critical data flow in contested environments.
Why space is an essential part of modern military capabilities
Defence-secure mixed reality headsets can save hours, or even weeks, of travel time to fix defunct equipment or get subject experts effectively “on-site” where they are needed.
