RUAG Defence is delivering the Swiss Armed Forces with a complete solution for the operation of unmanned vehicles from fully protected command shelters. Utilising its integration capabilities and breadth of expertise, RUAG Defence has developed shelters, which house all the equipment necessary to securely execute extensive missions anywhere and commence operations within hours.
The shelters that RUAG Defence is delivering constitute everything needed for mobile operations. With these shelters the Swiss Armed Forces can rapidly deploy to any location and have everything they need to perform a sustained operation. A primary function the shelters perform, due to their sophistication, is serving as the command and control (C2) centre for the Swiss RANGER UAVs.
Crucial in the delivery of this project are RUAG’s abilities in system engineering and integration, testing, and communication systems. Over the last decade, the Swiss company has been quietly developing its position as a leader within the field of technologically sophisticated shelters. As a strategic partner for Land Systems the firm produces shelters in three different sizes all based on a standard 20ft container, but expandable to give up to 35m2 usable floor space. In addition, each container can, as required, be protected to withstand EMC, NEMP and TEMPEST threats up to 80dB. Securing the communications housed inside them and ensuring the user maintains situational awareness and control of their vehicle at all times.
It is these two characteristics of size and protection that laid the foundation for RUAG Defence to deliver mobile command and control for the Swiss UAVs. In addition is the company’s extensive expertise in the field of secure communications and the integration of such systems into vehicles and shelters. RUAG’s success in delivering solutions for UAVs paves the way for future projects involving protected shelters being used as command systems for UGVs.
To date RUAG Defence has delivered over 150 shelters, of different configurations, to both military and civilian customers.
