ELECTRON Progress joint-stock company is the first Bulgarian company to be granted a certificate of compliance with the AQAP 2110 standard by the Ministry of Defence.
This standard will allow the company to operate on projects of national security and meet the highest military standards, Georgi Krumov, executive director of Electron Progress told journalists. This standard has been approved by NATO and when Bulgaria joins the alliance as a fully-fledged member, the company will be able to work on projects in the sphere of national security run by NATO member states.
Electron Progress will be the subcontractor of the US communications equipment company Harris. Harris will be in charge of a $100 million civilian broadcasting project in Iraq. Experts of Electron Progress are expected to leave for Kerbala in February where they will be maintaining the radar system of the Bulgarian and Polish battalions, also developed by Harris.
Electron Progress has been working on three projects commissioned by the Ministry of Defence.
The first one is code-named Kaliakra M. It aims at the development of a coastal radar station for marine surveillance.
The second project develops a stationary digital integrated communication system which will make it possible to transmit data, including high-resolution TV signal, in real time. The system consists of radio relays, optic lines and state-of-the-art commuters. This is a complex system designed particularly for the purposes of the Ministry of Defence to serve for the protection of information including encrypting of information under NATO standards. Alcatel, Hewlett-Packard, Agilent, Cisco are some of the partners to the Bulgarian company in this endeavor.
The third project is the National Centre for Crisis Management, partners to which are Hewlett Packard and Microsoft.
Electron Progress was established in 1976 as an Institute for Special-Purpose Electronics, which was transformed in 1998 into a wholly state-owned joint-stock company. It went 100 per cent private in 2004.
