Telekonfliktforskning vid FOI 1995-2002, slutrapport

To establish a resource within intersystem interference for the Swedish Defence, a research project within this topic was initiated 1995. The focus for this research has been on analyses methods for the performance degradation on digital communication due to intersystem interference from both co-located military systems and COTS-systems (Commercial off the shelf) equipment. During this project, close cooperation has been done with the Sensor & Telecommunications Division at the Swedish Defence Materiels Administration. The scientists within the project have work as consultants for the Swedish industry. Furthermore, these scientists have been active in the education FOI is doing for the Swedish Defence College. Research cooperation has also been done with professor Jens Zander at the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, and professor Arne Svensson at Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg. The results from the project have been internationally noticed for instance by the European standardization agency CISPR. The results have influenced the development of international standards for limiting electromagnetic radiation from electronic equipment. The evolution against network centric warfare will result in a large amount of civilian information technology equipment in the vicinity of vital communication systems. This requires further research to prevent damages in the command & control systems.
