"Sweden's air force 'can't send secret messages'"

[Jerry Leichter]

Summary:  Sweden developed its own secure encryption system for  
communicating with fighter jets.  A new jet, which is scheduled to  
replace all existing fighters by 2011, uses a NATO-standard encryption  
system - only.  There is no plan in place to upgrade the ground  
systems to the NATO standard.  So the new jets must communicate in the  
clear.
