Resilient Networked Distributed Mosaic Communications (RNDMC)
Abstract
Resilient Networked Distributed Mosaic Communications (RNDMC) aims to provide Beyond-Line-Of-Sight (BLOS) tactical communications for an Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) environment by developing low-cost expendable transceivers that may be hand carried or hosted on ground platforms, autonomous air vehicles, high altitude platforms, and low-cost/low earth orbit satellites. RNDMC plans to use a combination of synchronized transceivers and tactical radios to enhance desired signals and reject intentional and unintentional interference. Based on technologies developed in the Protected Forward Communications (PFC) program (budgeted in this PE/Project), RNDMC will design, develop, and demonstrate a distributed field of expendable transceivers, providing a robust, low-cost, BLOS tactical communications system that degrades gracefully as transceiver nodes become unavailable. The RNDMC goal is a demonstration on ground and air platforms and will not be reliant on Global Positioning System (GPS). Technologies from this program will transition to the Services.
