Tactical Systems

The military deployment demands peak performance from both soldiers and their equipment under extreme conditions. In these critical moments, reliability is not a luxury but a necessity. External factors such as rough terrain, extreme weather, or unexpected mechanical stress test not only the endurance of the troops but also the resilience of the equipment used. SOLIFOS’ cable solutions are designed precisely for these requirements. They support vital communication systems and ensure uninterrupted data flow, even under the harshest conditions. Our specially developed fiber optic cable systems offer optimal performance for military applications, from tactical communication to high-precision data transmission in critical defense systems. They are robust enough to withstand intense physical stress, such as severe twisting, rodent bites, or being run over by tracked vehicles, without losing their functionality. In an era where the threat of digital attacks and physical sabotage is steadily increasing, the protection of sensitive data is of utmost priority. Our cables are available in the BRUmil, BRUfield, and BRUtough variants, each specifically designed for military use, ensuring maximum reliability and availability to maintain your troops’ operational readiness at all times.

Advantages

  • Ready for immediate use: Fully developed system for immediate use

  • Extrem Robust: Alle Solifos Kabel bestehen den „Panzertest“

  • Rodent protected: Our BRUmil cables in particular offer 100% rodent protection thanks to stainless steel reinforcement

  • Compact and light: Extremely compact design with low weight and high flexibility

Tank Test

In a real battlefield environment, communication lines must be able to withstand tough conditions. Tanks and heavy military vehicles can drive over the Solifos Tactical Fiber Optic Field Cables without harming them. In the experiment, the Leopard II tank and even a tank without protection clamps on its wheel chains did no damage to the cable.

Application Examples

The fiber optic solutions BRUmil, BRUfield, and BRUtough from Solifos AG have specific characteristics that make them particularly valuable in various strategic application areas. Here are some key deployment possibilities:

Military and security-critical applications

The BRUmil cable system was specifically designed for military applications and offers several features that make it ideal for security-critical environments:

  • Robustness and reliability: The system is immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and extremely resistant to mechanical stress, making it suitable for use in harsh environments.
  • Quick setup and dismantling: Due to its high flexibility and ease of handling, BRUmil is advantageous for mobile command centers, field camps, and temporary infrastructure in operational areas.
  • Secure and uninterrupted communication: Especially in military environments, where secure, tap-proof, and high-capacity communication infrastructures are required, fiber optic technology is essential.

Strategic Applications:

  • Mobile networks in operational areas: Establishment of communication networks during military operations, such as for real-time data transmission and secure voice communication.
  • Command centers: Connecting sensitive data and communication points with high bandwidth and low susceptibility to interference.
  • Field monitoring and sensor integration: Supporting surveillance and reconnaissance systems that process large volumes of data.

Civil infrastructure and critical networks

The BRUfield system is primarily designed for applications in the civilian sector, where high reliability and robustness are required. It offers similar advantages to BRUmil but is optimized for industrial and civilian infrastructures:

  • Resistance to environmental factors: Thanks to its robustness against temperature variations, mechanical stress, and moisture, BRUfield is ideal for long-term outdoor applications.
  • Use in harsh environments: Due to its mechanical robustness, these cable systems can be used in environments such as mines, offshore facilities, or industrial production sites.

Strategic Applications:

  • Energy supply and smart grids: Fiber optics are increasingly being used in smart grids for communication between various network components. BRUfield can serve as a stable infrastructure for data transmission in this context.
  • Oil and gas industry, mining: Reliable data transmission, which BRUfield can provide, is necessary for monitoring and controlling machinery and processes in extreme environments.
  • Telecommunication in remote areas: The establishment of networks in isolated or hard-to-reach locations, such as mountainous regions or deserts, can be made possible with BRUfield.

Civil protection and temporary networks

Both BRUmil and BRUfield can be used in scenarios such as natural disasters or crisis situations to establish temporary yet stable communication infrastructures. Due to their quick deployment and resistance to environmental factors, these systems are ideal for setting up emergency communication networks.
