Ultra Electronics TCS (Ultra-TCS) provides advanced C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications,x000D
Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) and EW (electronic warfare) systems around thex000D
globe. Their products include Ultra ORION, a family of software-enabled tactical radio systems. Co-sponsoredx000D
by NSERC, Ultra-TCS has also set-up the Industrial Research Chair in High Performance Wireless Emergencyx000D
Tactical Communications at École de technologie supérieure (ETS).x000D
The Ultra ORION radio technology is now required to adhere to the latest Federal Information Processingx000D
Standard (FIPS) 140-2 Level 2 identified in NIST SP800-90B. To help meet this standard, Ultra-TCS engagedx000D
Cybersecurity Umbrella in Ontario which has related expertise and has participated with security standardsx000D
bodies such as ISO and NIST to help industry achieve compliance.x000D
Cybersecurity Umbrella is also a partner of Centennial College in Toronto. The Cybersecurityx000D
Umbrella-Centennial College partnership is now growing to include program development and innovation inx000D
cybersecurity. Ultra-TCS and ETS in Montreal together with Cybersecurity Umbrella and Centennial in thex000D
Toronto region will co-develop a FIPS-compliant Random Number Generator (RNG) that can bex000D
commercialized by incorporating into the ORION radio technology. This includes developing (i) a RNG basedx000D
on physical noise on FPGA (field programmable gate array); (ii) software to measure entropy generated andx000D
ensure it passes certification; and (iii) a Health Module to conduct three type of entropy tests.x000D
This four-way industry-academic collaboration will result in development and commercialization of ax000D
next-generation secure radio technology, boosting the competitiveness of Canadian industry globally.
