Advanced Tactical Communications (ATC)
Abstract
The ATC project is developing a low-size, weight, and power (SWaP) communications capability, leveraging novel technologies that operate outside the traditional radio frequency (RF) spectrum. The developed capability will provide up to a 100-fold increase in communication bandwidth, enabling new and novel warfighting capabilities on SWaP-constrained platforms such as tactical ground vehicles and small-unmanned aerial systems. In FY 2022, ATC completed the initial system design and began subcomponent development. In FY 2023, ATC transitions to Program Element 0603838D8Z Defense Innovation Acceleration for further development.
