JTRS Compliant Waveform for LCS Unmanned Vehicle Communications Navy SBIR FY2014.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2014.1 Topic No.: N141-035 Topic Title: JTRS Compliant Waveform for LCS Unmanned Vehicle Communications Proposal No.: N141-035-0584 Firm: GIRD Systems, Inc. 310 Terrace Ave. Cincinnati, Ohio 45220 Contact: James Caffery Phone: (513) 281-2900 Web Site: www.girdsystems.com Abstract: The Littoral Combat Ships (LCS), unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) and unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) work together to provide perimeter protection for the naval forces. Maintaining persistent connectivity with the UUVs/USVs is critical to the success of the operations. GIRD Systems proposes to develop a new waveform that can provide anti-jamming (AJ) protection while support high data rate links. The proposed waveform will be designed, simulated, and demonstrated. Benefits: This SBIR program develops a new waveform that can provide anti-jamming (AJ) protection in environments with jammer-to-signal (J/S) ratios of 30 dB while support 3Mbps and 200kbps link rates over a 10nmi link. This SBIR program obviously develops into a potential product for the military market. Many DoD Services will have interest and need in robust, anti-jam data link such as the one proposed here. Commercial products may also be developed from this effort and integrated into communication systems supporting other mission critical applications such as disaster response. Return
