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.
