Core Systems in San Diego CA, May 24, 2007 announces today that they will provide complete integrated rack mount systems to help support the upgraded Air Defense Ground Environment FLORAKO systems.

 FLORAKO is a high performance air defense and air space management system developed by TRS. It went into operation after successfully completing final tests and operating in parallel with the previous Swiss air defense system. FLORAKO comprises master surveillance radars, a data and communication system, a new airspace management system and new air command and control centers.

The upgraded FLORAKO systems will transmit voice and data over an encrypted link, provide nation-wide Link-16 coverage, allow the aircraft to acquire Link-16 before take-off and incorporate multifunctional information distribution system (MIDS) technology. MIDS technology will help pilots to overcome the challenges of gathering data while flying their aircraft over the mountainous Swiss terrain.

"The future Defense System will be expanded to integrate more real time data and to interface with more sensors and reconnaissance assets in order to provide maximum information for decision making," said Dr. Alfred Markwalder, Swiss chief of Armament.

Core Systems is a premier provider of complete integrated systems for the Industrial, Embedded, Military and Communications marketplaces. Core Systems also supplies a large line of off the self and custom 1U display LCD units. We design, manufacture and customize open system platforms to meet the demanding requirements of our customers' programs, using both standard and enhanced Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technology.
