Thanks to modern software solution, Bundeswehr pilots work ultra-mobile and ultra-safe
The Bundeswehr is going digital: with new mobile electronic knee boards, pilots have important information and manuals at their fingertips during deployment. The SecurePIM container solution ensures the security of data, information with security level VS-NfD and communication.
In global operations and under the highest security precautions, soldiers are faced with tasks and challenges on a daily basis in which they must be able to rely on the technology used at all times. This applies to aircraft as well as to the equipment used to carry out missions. The state-of-the-art portable Electronic Knee Boards (EKB) are available for all aircraft types and branches of the Bundeswehr and digitize a large number of the work steps that are relevant for pilots when preparing for, carrying out and following up on missions. The EKBs enable pilots to work ultra-mobile and effectively in highly complex environments all over the world. The handy tablets are true all-rounders when it comes to storing confidential information and quickly accessing important data during an operation. As data carriers, EKBs contain all the data that air forces need for their work. The demands on hardware and software are correspondingly high, as they have to combine convenient and simple operation with maximum security in order to meet the special requirements of the defense sector. To protect the highly sensitive data, Materna Virtual Solution supplies SecurePIM, a solution approved by the BSI for the iOS operating system, which creates a secure and separate area on the EKBs.
Secure ultra-mobile workspace for the cockpit
The container solution provides the pilots on the EKBs with a protected environment that makes navigation data, aeronautical information or tactical content accessible during the mission. Documents that are essential for flight operations, such as checklists or manuals and flight logs, can also be accessed via the EKBs. Thanks to seamless end-to-end encryption and specially protected interfaces, SecurePIM also enables access to the Bundeswehr intranet. The solution thus exemplifies the digital realignment of the armed forces and the logistics required for this. With the EKBs and SecurePIM, the Bundeswehr now has a state-of-the-art and secure technological solution for all aircraft types and branches of the armed forces that enables highly mobile, ultra-mobile working and makes the everyday lives of soldiers considerably easier. The introduction of EKBs is therefore an important building block in the [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
