TITAAN is the codename of the current Dutch military communications systems,
that entered service in the early 2000s. TITAAN is the abbreviation of
Theatre Independent Tactical Army and Airforce Network.
It replaced the ageing ZODIAC system that was phased
out when TITAAN came to life.
Within TITAAN, both civil and military equipment is integrated and great
care is taken to ensure computer and communication security.
TITAAN is partly developed by TNO.

In the first stages of the implementation of TITAAN, certain parts of
the old ZODIAC network were still integrated.
For example the BVO-M
and Mucolex were given a new
lease of life by replacing its interface with a TITAAN-compatible one [3].
This interface, the so-called FM-200 Adapterbox, was developed by TNO [4]
and allows TITAAN to be linked to the existing FM-200 point-to-point RF-links.
The interface is called TC-FEC (Turbo Code Forward Error Correction) [6].

In 2005, both BVO
and Mucolex
were still in use with TITAAN.
For Mucolex this means a life span of nearly 30 years!
Both items are cryptographic devices developed by
Philips Usfa BV. More information about them
is available on the Philips Crypto part
of this website.
