ESSOR - European Secure Software Defined Radio The aim of the ESSOR programme, currently sponsored by the governments of Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, and Spain, is to develop pan-European Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology in order to improve the ability of Armed Forces to cooperate in joint operations and also to develop new ESSOR waveforms (E3DWF, ENBWF, ESATWF), in the frame of ESSOR ENC (ESSOR New capabilities) project.
The ESSOR programme will continue, with further activities including the porting of the ESSOR HDRWF to Rohde & Schwarz's SDR and a new interoperability verification test session. In addition to the European High Data Rate (HDR) waveform, the programme has produced and validated a European SDR architecture, now qualified on six different European platforms. The benefits of waveform interoperability are regularly demonstrated through network testing involving different ESSOR national platforms.

iMUGS (integrated Modular Unmanned Ground System) Funding organization: European Defence Industrial Development Programme (EDIDP)
Bittium is part of the iMUGS (integrated Modular Unmanned Ground System) project that is operating under the European Defence Industrial Development Programme (EDIDP). The iMUGS project is developing new capabilities for European defence forces based on autonomous systems.
Goal of the project is to develop a modular and scalable architecture for hybrid manned-unmanned systems in order to address a large range of missions and to enable easy update or modification of assets and functionalities within the system: aerial and ground platforms, command, control and communication equipment, sensors, payloads and algorithms. The project will also develop a prototype for demonstrating the features of the implementation.
In the project, Bittium is responsible for the execution of resilient and networked data transfer, including both tactical communications and data transfer over commercial 4G and 5G cellular networks. The iMUGS project begun in 2021 and the duration of the project is approximately 30 months. The participating countries in the project are Belgium, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Latvia and Spain.

Post-Quantum Cryptopgraphy (PQC) Funding organization: Business Finland
Bittium is part of a nationally significant Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) project, funded by the Business Finland Digital Trust program. PQC project develops quantum secure encryption technology, integrating it as part of products and solutions. The goal of the project is to accelerate the increase of innovations based on digital trust and a growth of business. In this project, Bittium leverages the expertise in quantum secure key exchange and authentication, providing even stronger capability to protect customer information.
As a result of this project collaboration, a functionality has been implemented for Post Quantum Cryptography based key exchange and certificate-based authentication.
The project has altogether nine partners from academia (3) and industry (6) with three stakeholder partners from government organisations.

TIoCPS Funding organization: Business Finland / ITEA3
The motivation for TIoCPS project arises from the grand challenge facing cyber-physical systems (CPS): the lack of trustworthy, smart and interoperable information/data sharing and value exchange prevents the establishment of the data economy around CPS. The objective of the project is to technically enable trustworthy and smart communities for CPS systems (TIoCPS concept) for solving the grand challenge in the context of selected industrial use cases dealing with energy, mobility and user/owner CPS systems. The TIoCPS concept combined with the use case solutions are envisioned to boost the business of the respective industries and enable more trustworthy, smart, interoperable and sustainable industrial CPS ecosystem and society.
Bittium’s TioCPS project is part of ITEA TIoCPS collaboration coordinated in Finland by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland.
The project objective is to develop strategic technology assets and knowhow that enables creating new major business in the field of trushworthiness in cyber physical systems.
Bittium works in the project to research and develop smart data sharing contracts that enable new use cases for sharing data in cyber physical systems (CPS). This enables establishing and proving strong identities between humans, devices and even individual components and sensors in the devices.

Secur-e-Health Funding organization: Business Finland / ITEA3
Sensitive health data is often kept in silos in a way that cannot be efficiently leveraged for legitimate medical, research and data analysis purposes. The goal of the Secur‐e‐Health project is to integrate new approaches for digital ID technologies and privacy-preserving analysis techniques in a secure system infrastructure. The Secur-e-Health system allows medical institutions of all types to collaborate together and leverage data analyses and insights. This is expected to have a significant impact on the quality of the medical predictive models, the efficiency of data-driven treatments, the acceleration of new clinical research, and the improvement of healthcare in general.
5G Compad A consortium of world-leading partners from European telecom and defence industries, co-funded by the European Union under the European Defence Fund, work together to develop the communication system architecture and specifications, and create joint testbeds to demonstrate the integration of 5G standalone networks with existing defence infrastructure using commercial and defence hardware and software components.
Established 5G network procedures, enhanced with domain-specific orchestration functions, provide interoperability between defence communication systems, public 4G and 5G operator networks, and 5G national security networks across coalition members from various EU member states.
