The role of HF 2000 in a network based defence

The Swedish Armed Forces is procuring an automated HF system from Selex Communication, to be fielded during 2007 and 2008. The system is based on the latest HF standards offering IP connectivity through 3G-ALE and Stanag 5066 links. To enhance its ability to offer capacity as required by the current traffic load the system utilizes a dynamic allocation of available resources on a node by node basis. Additionally it incorporates a flexible use of the frequency spectrum allocated to the system. The HF 2000 system will become an integrated communications component in the future defence network.
