- Description
- Demonstrate and mature an innovative, affordable, and transitionable cognitive radio-frequency (RF) and/or Free Space Optical (FSO) communications payload and associated payload ground control software to ensure ambient, seamless, and resilient communications and networking capabilities in contested and denied operational environments. Specifically, we wish to establish a modular framework for flexible, resilient, and ambient connectivity consisting of: a cooperating set of global network access terminal (GNAT) nodes (e.g., crosslink routers), equipped with a configurable set of modem/terminal subsystems, the associated protocols for discovery, operation, and management, and a testbed supporting live operation, modeling, and analysis of real and virtual GNATs. This effort includes (1) Network modeling, simulation, and analysis, (2) RF communications and cognitive radio, (3) FSO communications, (4) Communications networks and (5) Program Management. The intent of this research is to advance the Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) and document the progress in above areas of exploration as applied to Space Vehicles.
