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. 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.
