Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The National Defence Radio Establishment (Swedish: Försvarets radioanstalt, FRA) is a government agency in Sweden responsible for signals intelligence. FRA is a civilian establishment subordinate to the Ministry of Defence. The two main tasks of FRA are signals intelligence (COMINT and SIGINT/ELINT) and support to government authorities and state owned companies regarding IT security. Interception of signals is done from fixed sites on Swedish territory, from the SIGINT ship HMS Orion (run by the Swedish Navy) and from two Gulfstream IV aircraft (run by the Swedish Air Force). FRA operates by assignments from several authorities: the Government, the Armed Forces, the National Police Board, the National Inspectorate of Strategic Products, the Board of Customs, the Defence Materiel Administration, the Defence Research Agency and the Emergency Management Agency. Oversight is provided by the Defence Intelligence Commission.
