Australia looks towards space with force restructure, investment and training
Australia is looking to improve its presence in space with a focus on communications and creating a dedicated segment of its defence forces committed to the domain.
Finnish PPDR to receive command systems
The Finnish National Police Board and an industry consortium have agreed to develop and deliver a Common Field Command System (KEJO) for all Finnish Public Protection and Disaster Relief (PPDR) authorities.
The consortium includes Patria, Portalify and Codea, and the total value of the contract is €23 million ($26.56 million). The implementation will take place in 2015-2017.
KEJO is a system for public safety mobile ICT services and an application platform for mobile terminals that will be operated mainly over wireless networks. The system enables field commanding, maintenance of situational picture, access to several master systems and exchanging information in real time with other PPDR actors.
KEJO will be used by the Frontier Guard, the defence forces, customs and other authorities possibly joining in at a later stage.
