Encryption for JAS 39 Gripen

In 2006, the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) commissioned Sectra to develop a customized telemetry encryption system to be used during test flights of the aircraft. The encryption system for the JAS 39 Gripen is tailor-made for use in the aircraft and meets strict security requirements.

Sectra has unique competence in encryption, as a result of which we could rapidly customize a cryptosystem for aircraft from our broad cryptographic portfolio.

Over the years, the system has been enhanced in a close collaboration between SAAB and Sectra.
