The Bundeswehr's military radar data network (MilRADNET), in which military flight monitoring and flight plan data have been distributed for around 20 years, is being renewed. According to the company, the Frequentis subsidiary Frequentis Comsoft was commissioned to make MilRADNET future-proof for monitoring German airspace, primarily by eliminating obsolescence.
According to Frequentis, the development of MilRADNET began in 2004 and was designed as a pioneering solution for the exchange and distribution of military flight monitoring and flight plan data. The MilRADNET is the first military radar data network in Germany.
In the latest project, SDDS-NG (Surveillance Data Distribution System – Next Generation) will replace the previous system, writes Frequentis. This change is an important step that will further improve the performance and effectiveness of surveillance data processing. In addition, the requirements for stability and scalability due to new technologies and additional usage units of flight monitoring data can be met efficiently.
With the renewal of the network, the Bundeswehr will have a first-class sensor network compared to the rest of the world, with which it can monitor German airspace even more efficiently, Frequentis continued. As a nationwide sensor network with high scalability, the MilRADNET also makes a significant contribution to pan-European air defense.
“MilRADNET’s journey reflects our relentless commitment to maintaining military communications and networking at the highest levels. The continuation of the MilRADNET project is a milestone in our long-standing collaboration. It underlines our determination to always offer first-class solutions for the Bundeswehr that are based on continuous development and innovation,” emphasized Constantin von Reden, Managing Director of Frequentis Comsoft GmbH.
